Statistics Canada to release 2021 census report on housing, Indigenous people

Sep 21, 2022 | 1:01 AM

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada will release its latest 2021 census report on the housing landscape in Canada this morning. 

Housing prices rose considerably between 2016 and last year, sparking widespread concerns about affordability. 

But this year, prices have fallen dramatically because of rising interest rates. 

Mike Moffatt, an assistant professor at Western University’s Ivey School of Business, says he will be paying close attention to what the data says about home ownership rates among young people. 

Today’s release also focuses on Indigenous people, including population growth numbers and information about which languages are spoken at home.
