Residency ownership and property use by residential property type (Semi Detached House)

Footnotes: 1 Residency ownership" is defined as follows: A property is classified as resident owned when the majority of owners are defined as residents. Conversely a property is classified as non-resident owned when the majority of owners are defined as non-residents. When there is an equal number of resident and non-resident owners for the same property the property is classified as resident owned." 2 The geographic boundaries used in this table are the 2016 census subdivisions boundaries. 3 A residential property" refers to all land and structures intended for private occupancy whether on a permanent or a temporary basis." 4 The Composite Quality Indicator (CQI) shown in this table is created by combining many individual quality indicators, each one representing the quality of different Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) data processing steps (for example: coding, geocoding, linkage and imputation) and includes the following values: A - Excellent: All domain variables and the variable of interest are of excellent quality. B - Very good: All domain variables and the variable of interest are of very good to excellent quality. C - Good: Geography quality is considered good while all other domains variables and the variable of interest are of very good to excellent quality. D - Acceptable: Geography and period of construction variables are of acceptable quality while all other domains variables and the variable of interest are of good to excellent quality. E - Use with caution: Several of domain variables or the variable of interest are of poor quality. F - Too unreliable to be published. The CQIs are available starting with the reference period of 2020, except for the Northwest Territories where they are available from 2019 reference period. 5 Property use estimates are not available outside census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs). 6 New Brunswick estimates are not available for the reference period of 2018. 7 Assessment value and assessment value per square foot estimates for the most recent period of construction (2016 to reference period) are suppressed for Ontario due to the availability of these data. 8 For the reference periods 2018 and 2019, total living area and assessment value per square foot estimates are not available for British Columbia. 9 Nova Scotia estimates for the 2019 reference period have been revised. 10 Property type" refers to property characteristics and/or dwelling configuration on which there can be one or more residential structures. Property types include: single-detached houses semi-detached houses condominium apartments mobile homes other property types properties with multiple residential units and vacant land." 11 Estimates by property type in Newfoundland and Labrador are only available in the census subdivision of St. John’s. 12 Estimates by property type in Northwest Territories are not available. 13 Estimates by property type in Nunavut are not available. 14 Period of construction" refers to the period in time during which the building or dwelling was originally constructed. This refers to the period in which the building was completed not the time of any later remodelling additions or conversions. For properties having multiple residential structures this refers to the period in which the most recent structure was completed." 15 For the most recent period of construction (2016 to reference period), the property use indicator is less precise. As a consequence, these estimates should be used with caution. 16 Estimates by period of construction in Northwest Territories are not available. 17 Estimates by period of construction in Nunavut are not available. 18 Property use" refers to the use of a residential property by its owners. The property can be occupied by the owner at least one of the owners or none of the owners on the property title. A property is classified as owner-occupied when at least one owner on the property title declares the property as their usual residence according to tax data or other administrative data. A property is classified as not owner-occupied when none of the owners on the property title declare the property as their usual residence." 19 Estimates by property use in Yukon are only available in the census subdivision of Whitehorse. 20 Estimates by property use in Nunavut are not available. 21 Estimates by residency ownership in Yukon are only available in the census subdivision of Whitehorse. 22 Newfoundland and Labrador estimates are not available at the provincial level and for the category “Outside of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs)”. 23 Northwest Territories estimates are available only for the 2019 reference period. 24 Northwest Territories estimates are only available in the census agglomeration of Yellowknife. 25 Northwest Territories total living area and assessment value per square foot estimates are not available. 26 Nunavut total living area and assessment value per square foot estimates are not available. 27 A condominium apartment" refers to a set of living quarters that is owned individually while land and common elements are held in joint ownership with others." 28 All counts undergo random rounding, a process that transforms all raw counts into randomly rounded counts. This reduces the possibility of identifying individuals in the tabulations. Subtotals and totals may not exactly equal the sum of component parts due to system rounding. 29 Assessment value" refers to the assessed value of the property for the purposes of determining property taxes. It is important to note that the assessed value does not necessarily represent the market value. Given that different provinces and territories have their own assessment periods and durations of the valuation roll it is difficult to make accurate comparisons of similar properties from one province or territory to another. For properties that are being utilized for both residential and non-residential purposes only the residential portion's value has been taken into account. The reference years of the assessment values by province or territory are available here: <a href="https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&Id=1281815">Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP)</a>." 30 Averages and medians are calculated using properties with non-missing or non-zero values when there is no imputation available for the variables of interest (for example assessment value, total living area, and assessment value per square foot). 31 Total living area" refers to the residential living space within a structure. For residential structures that have a basement the finished basement area is included in the total living area while unfinished basement area is not included."
