Multigenerational households

This map shows the share of households that are multi-generational households in 2021. The highest shares of multigenerational households can be found in First Nation reservations. Of the cities with at least 10,000 people, Brampton has the highest share of multigenerational households at 14.3%, followed by Surrey at 9.6%, and Markam at 9.5% A multigenerational household is defined by StatCan as follows: > Multigenerational households represent all households where there is at least one person who is both the grandparent of a person in the household and the parent of another person in the same household. They also represent all households where there is at least one person who is both the child of a person in the household and the grandchild of another person in the same household. In previous censuses, multigenerational households were only created based on the former definition, not the latter. As a result, there may be small differences in counts for 2011 and 2016 in archived tables.
