SUMMARY:Canadian Housing Data (Statistics Canada)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRecent years have seen rising concerns about housing 
 affordability in Canada\, spurring policy debates at the federal\, 
 provincial and municipal level. In this context\, academic researchers have 
 increasingly sought out reliable housing data. The presentation will 
 introduce three sources of housing data at Statistics Canada – The 
 Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP)\, the Canadian Housing Survey 
 (CHS) and the Census of Population. Presenters will provide an overview of 
 the types of data available from each source and provide examples of how 
 they can be used by scholars and students.  \n\nThe CHSP\, for its part\, 
 provides comprehensive information on residential properties and their 
 owners. It provides granular information on the properties owned and the 
 owners’ characteristics. The CHS\, meanwhile\, collects information about 
 housing needs and experiences from a sample of Canadian households. In the 
 survey\, information is collected on core housing need\, dwelling and 
 neighbourhood satisfaction\, housing moves\, and other aspects of 
 well-being related to housing. Lastly\, the Census of Population provides a 
 longer time-series of local and national information on dwellings and 
 people by their demographic\, social and economic characteristics.  
 \n\nThese three sources of housing data complement each other and offer 
 comprehensive information on housing in Canada. By using this data\, 
 researchers can gain insights into housing trends and the needs and 
 preferences of Canadian residents. \n\nJosh Gordon is a Senior Analyst with 
 the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP). In 2023\, Josh published 
 two articles for the CHSP\, focused on the profile and role of real estate 
 investors. Before joining Statistics Canada\, Josh was an assistant 
 professor at the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University. His 
 academic research focused on the Canadian housing market and the politics 
 of labor market policy. He received his Ph.D. from the University of 
 Toronto in 2012.  \n\nJeff Randle began his career at Statistics Canada as 
 a student in the summer of 2006. After completing an undergraduate degree 
 in economics\, he continued in the Income Statistics Division as an analyst 
 working on household surveys focusing on income and socioeconomic 
 well-being. In 2014\, he joined the housing subject matter unit responsible 
 for the housing content and analysis on the Census of Population and 
 homelessness analytical and data development projects. Jeff now manages the 
 Housing Need Projects section responsible for the Canadian Housing Survey\, 
 National Social and Affordable Housing Database\, National Housing Strategy 
 program data integration projects\, and Homelessness Projects and 
 Partnerships. \n\nDavid Heisel is a housing analyst with the Census of 
 Population. David is involved in the data processing\, development and 
 publication of the housing content in the Census products. He has a 
 Bachelor of Mathematics from Carelton University. \n\n \n\nThis event is 
 part of Love Data Week 2024\, co-sponsored by SFU\, UBC\, UNBC\, and UVic.
