Housing & Rental Market

Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0133 (Rents) - Table 34-10-0127 (Vacancy) - Reference year 2025

Note: figures are single-year vintages. StatCan and CMHC do not publish ACS-style rolling 5-year housing averages, the long-form Census of Population every 5 years (2016, 2021) plays the equivalent precision role.

CMHC Average Rents by Bedroom

20.6%
Annual Rent (2BR) as % of Median Household Income - Affordable
30% threshold = "cost-burdened" (CMHC / HUD convention). Computed from $1,062 average 2BR rent × 12 / $61,807 household income.

30% of monthly median household income (~$1,545/mo), rents above this line are typically considered cost-burdened.
Note: this region has no Census Metropolitan Area or Census Agglomeration covered by the CMHC Rental Market Survey. Values shown are the unweighted average across all CMHC-surveyed centres in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Key Takeaways

  • Tight market: 1.6% vacancy rate signals constrained supply; rent pressure likely.
