In the 1980s, more than 60 per cent of the province\u2019s private occupied dwellings were in the detached segment, compared to just 44.1% as of 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The decline is the result of urban intensification, Statistics Canada suggests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In only one other province do detached homes account for less than half the overall stock of private occupied dwellings: Quebec, where 45.4% of the market is detached.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Canadawide, 18% of private occupied dwellings identified last year were in apartment buildings with no more than four storeys, while 9.9% of them could be found within apartment buildings of at least five storeys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Duplex apartments equalled 5.6% of Canada\u2019s private housing stock, and 12.9% of Canadian private dwellings were in the \u201cother\u201d category, which includes semi-detached houses, row homes, mobile homes and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across census metro areas, the greatest share of apartments are found in Montreal, as 58.4% of the private dwellings in that CMA are apartments in either low- and high-rise buildings. Vancouver was close behind at 58.1%, followed by Quebec City\u2019s 49.4% share of apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In terms of \u201chigh-rise\u201d apartments, which measure five or more storeys in height, the Toronto CMA had the biggest proportion. Close to three out of 10 homes there were in that type of residential structure, while Toronto continued to lead North America for the number of cranes operating, laying claim to 81 by 2016\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Statistics Canada says private occupied dwellings \u201cmay include\u201d both condos and rental apartments, and exclude homes occupied by non-residents or people who are only living there temporarily. Likewise, institutional, communal and commercial are beyond the scope of this census brief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Statistics Canada spokesperson tells BuzzBuzzNews the agency is still gathering data on condos and rentals, which will be released in October this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2017\/05\/figures-show-canadian-detached-homes-slow-decline.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">These Figures Show the Canadian Detached Home\u2019s Slow Decline<\/a> by Josh Sherman | Buzz Buzz Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some consider it a cornerstone of the Canadian dream, but new data from Canada\u2019s statistical agency suggests the single-family home continues to make up a dwindling share of the national &hellip;
