HOUSING AFFORDABILITY FOR FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOMES ACROSS CANADA
Percentage of income devoted to paying lowest-priced rent in a city, by low-income family type, select years, 1990-2015
Much public attention has been directed towards the issue of a Canada-wide housing crisis. The focus has typically been on the cost of housing for an average income Canadian family. Less attention has been paid to families with incomes much lower than those of the average Canadian household, for which the housing crisis is far more severe. Households and individuals with particularly low incomes are at the highest risk of experiencing the worst effects of a lack of housing affordability, including homelessness.
