Along with sky-high prices, families in particular in T.O. are also experiencing another difficult reality, as illuminated by data from StatCan: living in what the agency considers"unsuitable housing," mostly in regards to unit size, due to said prices and what some see as serious The latest national housing survey from the government arm showed that while 9.1 per cent of people with children across Canada were living in homes too small for their family's needs in 2021, the same could be said for a whopping 22.6 per cent of people in Toronto specifically.
The situation is far worse for non-home owners, with Toronto found to have the highest proportion of tenant families living in these"unsuitable" conditions — at nearly 50 per cent — than anywhere else in Canada, even Vancouver, where average rent prices are higher.This can be blamed, in part, on the city's shortage of larger, multi-bedroom units, and developers' affinity for small, economical and Airbnb-friendly units.
