This dataset includes two tables which were custom ordered from Statistics Canada. One table includes variables on housing characteristics (condominium status, total number of bedrooms, structural type and tenure), and households (household size, household type, age of primary household maintainer). One table includes information on shelter cost to income ratio and total shelter cost by tenure, household type, and household income.
The dataset is in Beyond 20/20 (.ivt) format. The Beyond 20/20 browser is required in order to open it. This software can be freely downloaded from the Statistics Canada website:
