Statscan numbers

I've had the same thoughts looking over these housing start stats. We all love apartments and density, and such, but I'd rather live in a city where there are still multiple types of housing being built. Today's Montreal or Vancouver where it's apartments only isn't good housing diversity, just like the Calgary of past times where it was only single family homes. That wasn't good housing diversity.

Not to mention, the mid-size wood frame apartments in Calgary still have 2/3 bed units of 800-1000 sqft. One issue with Vancouver and Toronto is that there’s nothing to move up to without moving super far out or being wealthy.

...and speaking of housing starts. Calgary is continuing where it left off in 2023, except that it was higher than usual #2 Vancouver. Not it sure if it's a trend or a blip, but it's the 2nd time in the last 3 months that Calgary was higher than Vancouver. Toronto is big man on campus as usual. nobody's going to knock Toronto off that perch anytime soon. Edmonton and Ottawa quite low for some reason, likely just an abirritation.

^Great! I wonder what the stats are for US metros? It seems like over the last decade Canadian and US metros were diverging more quickly than they had been before.

From the Conference Board report:
«
  • The city attracted record net in-migration of 62,700 people in 2022 and is estimated to have broken that mark with roughly 71,200 newcomers in 2023.
  • Such inflows lifted Calgary’s population growth to a record 4.0 per cent in 2022 and an estimated 5.0 per cent in 2023. This unsustainable pace will cool to 3.1 per cent in 2025 and to near 2 per cent annually in 2026–28.

They also forecast 2 million for the CMA by the end of 2028.

By ‘Net in-migration’ do they mean only incoming numbers, but from international, interprovincial and interprovincial?
Net makes it sound like a net gain, but then they use the word ‘in-migration’.

I think it’s just a comment on the direction of the net. Like the same as saying net positive 72k.

I take 'net' as the net gain for newcomers from anywhere. Of all the cities in Canada, Calgary probably had the biggest gain of interprovincial traffic, added to already high numbers for immigration. 62,700 + natural increase of around 9K for 2022 wouldn't surprise me.
