Statistics Canada
Families, Households and Housing
Statistics Canada produces statistics that help Canadians better understand their country—its population, resources, economy, society and culture. One of the areas in which it collects statistics is that related to families, households and housing. Data and studies on households and housing as well as census families and economic families are available.
The studies and data on households describe the characteristics of persons occupying the dwelling, the type of household, the tenure, the number of household maintainers, the household income, the household size, and other variables. The studies and data on housing describe the physical attributes of living quarters.
