Historical tax information in the Canadian Housing Survey database

The Canadian Housing Survey datasets will help inform our policies on appropriate housing supports and contribute to the evaluation of housing outcomes. For the past 10 years, administrative tax data has been used to derive income and housing mobility information for households. The data are accessible through Statistics Canada Research Data Centres. Information on income and place of residence between 2008 and 2018 will be made available.

The Historical Data of Income and Spatial Mobility Project, will:

• facilitate understanding of housing transitions
• the incidence of chronic movers
• Canadian Housing Survey respondents’ historical income trends
