Renters in Canada are three times more likely to be in need of adequate housing than owners

Haider\u002DMoranis: At least 1.6 million, or 10%, of Canadian households were housing disadvantaged

Almost one in four renter households lived in a dwelling that did not suit their family size or budget. By comparison, only 6.5 per cent of owners were considered housing disadvantaged. Among renters, a greater proportion of those living in social and affordable housing was in core housing need than other renters .

Differences in income dictate choices about the structural type and tenure of housing. For example, almost 70 per cent of renters in social and affordable housing occupied an apartment, compared to 46 per cent of other renters. The financial and housing well-being of visible minorities in Canada has only worsened because of COVID-19. In September, therevealed that the unemployment rate among those identifying as Arabs, Blacks and Southeast Asians was at least 77 per cent higher than those not designated as visible minorities.

Although core housing needs are derived from three dimensions, housing affordability is the most frequent dimension. Of those in core housing need, three out of four households could not meet the affordability criteria.
