Description

This table has data on Core Housing Need. It is similar to this table on Core Housing Need, but with two dimensions missing (Aboriginal household status, Household type) to be able to accommodate the large Geography dimension with Dissemination Areas.

A household in core housing need is one whose dwelling is considered unsuitable, inadequate or unaffordable and whose income levels are such that they could not afford alternative suitable and adequate housing in their community.
