This map shows the percentage of households with shelter cost higher than reported pre-tax income. Compare this to the corresponding map based on 2011 data where there are more explanations on how this might happen. Canada has an overall rate of 3.6% of households with income lower than shelter costs, BC takes the lead among the provinces at 5%. Within BC Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby lead the larger municipalities with rates of 8.1%, 7.4% and 6.9%, respectively. Among other larger Canadian cities Calgary comes in at 3.5%, Toronto and Montreal at 6.5% and 5.1%. This map is best viewed at or above the Census Tract level. We grey out areas where we detect the possibility of statistical rounding that could skew the results.
