Description
The Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) - T4, T1FF, Historical Address, Income Dispersion: All Years is now available for download and can be accessed by researchers with approved projects.
A suite of files under the umbrella of the Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) program is now available and can be accessed by researchers with approved projects. This data release includes microdata from the 2022 cycle (see article in The Daily published September 10, 2024).
The 2022 CHS provides information on how Canadians feel about their housing and how housing affects them. Information is collected on core housing need; dwelling characteristics and housing tenure; perceptions of economic hardship from housing costs; support and childcare payments; dwelling and neighbourhood satisfaction; perceptions of neighbourhood issues and safety; housing moves including forced moves; community engagement; life and community satisfaction; self-assessed health; experience with homelessness; socio-demographic characteristics; and access to transportation.
Information about household support and childcare payments and household’s access to transportation is new to the 2022 cycle.
Social and Affordable Housing (SAH) is an important part of the housing stock that provides housing to people in need. The CHS aims to provide detailed and precise statistics on households in SAH by oversampling this subpopulation.
The CHS 2022 was carried out in all 10 provinces.
To enhance the CHS the following pre-linked data files are released today:
- Detailed income information for 2022 CHS from Administrative Personal Income Masterfile, 2022
- Historical income data from T4 file and T1 Family File (CHS 2021 and 2022)
