Vancouver’s Density Higher than Any Other City in Canada: Census Data

V

ancouver’s population growth may only be the 11th highest out of all Canada’s Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) but the city proper has the highest number of people per kilometre, according to new 2016 Census data released February 8 by Statistics Canada. In the first of seven promised tranches of data collected in the 2016 Census, to be released throughout this year, the federal statistics agency revealed population numbers, growth rates and densities for cities, regions, provinces and territories across Canada. The population of Vancouver CMA (Metro Vancouver) stood at 2,463,431 in 2016, which was the third-largest of Canada’s CMAs after Toronto (just under six million) and Montreal (just

over four million). Vancouver CMA’s population was 6.5 per cent higher than in the 2011 data, which put it in 11th place of all CMAs in terms of growth rate and above the national average. In BC, Vancouver’s five-year growth rate was outstripped by population growth in Kelowna (sixthhighest nationally at 8.4 per cent) and Victoria (eighth at 6.7 per cent). Furthermore, Vancouver’s 6.5 per cent was notably lower than the 9.5 per cent growth it posted over the previous five years in the 2011 Census data. Nationally, the Census counted 35,151,728 people living in Canada as of May 10, 2016, which is up 5.0 per cent since 2011, making it the highest national population growth of the G7 countries. Statistics Canada

Mortgages: Are B-Lenders the Last Hope for Many BC Home Buyers?

reported, “About two-thirds of Canada’s population growth from 2011 to 2016 was the result of migratory increase (the diff erence between the number of immigrants and emigrants). Natural increase (the difference between the number of births and deaths) accounted for the remaining one-third.” Despite its somewhat slowing growth rate, Vancouver proper (census subdivision, not CMA) had the highest population density in the country, with 5,492.6 residents per square kilometre inside the city limits. Also in the national density top 10 rankings were New Westminster (4,543.4 people/ sqkm), North Vancouver (4,465.1) and Victoria (4,405.8) – putting them respectively in sixth, seventh and eighth place overall.

Editorial: BC Budgetʼs New PTT Exemption Threshold Not High Enough

That compares with a national density of only 3.5 people per square kilometre overall (compared with 35 people/sqkm in the US). However, Statistics Canada noted that two-thirds of the Canadian population lives within 100km of the US border, in an area just four per cent of Canada’s total size. Vancouver’s 5,492.6 people per square kilometre may be Canada’s highest, but pales in comparison with the densest cities in the world, which are topped by Manila in the Philippines at 41,515 people per square kilometre, according to Wikipedia. Vancouver’s density levels put it in line with the 44th densest conurbation in the United States. To see Statistics Canada’s full breakdown and data tables, go to www.statcan.gc.ca

Only Eight Completed New Townhomes for Sale in Entire Metro Region: UDI Report

T

here were just eight completed and unsold new townhouses available across the entire Metro Vancouver region as of December 31, 2016, according to the Urban Development Institute’s (UDI) State of the Market 4thQ 2016 Research Report published February 20. The quarterly report – which is compiled by research group Urban Analytics on behalf of UDI Pacific Region and examines local new home sales, housing supply and population growth – reveals a severe shortage of new home inventory despite record housing starts in 2016. Anne McMullin, UDI Pacific Region president and CEO, said, “The report

confirms that doing nothing, blaming foreign buyers, or introducing new, punitive taxes have not made housing more plentiful or affordable for homeseekers. “We need more houses for more people, especially along rapid transit corridors. We have plenty of available land, but 85 per cent of it is locked up as restrictive, single-family zoning, meaning no multifamily condos, townhomes, rowhomes, duplexes or even sales of laneway homes are permitted. “Coupled with years of delays in multifamily building approvals, rising land costs and lack of available land to build

on … home-seekers can count on prices to keep rising.” McMullin added, “We all have to share in the solutions and consider the greater good and community health.” The report cited low inventory across all property types, highlighting new-build condo-apartment units in particular. It said, “At the end of Q4 2016, there were a total of 3,416 new multi-family homes available to purchase, which is down 30 per cent from the same quarter last year and still near historic lows. Low released and unsold inventory levels continue to be a primary contributor to the lack of new home affordability across the region.” New Home Sales Recovering Following a slower third quarter of 2016, sales of new condo units in Metro Vancouver recovered by 46 per cent in

Q4. The report said, “A combined total of 4,347 new multi-family home sales were recorded in Q4 2016 and while this total is down 15 per cent from a near-record total recorded in Q4 2015, note that they were up 46 per cent from last quarter.” Population growth remains on a steady growth trajectory and continues to be a key contributor to a strong housing market, according to the report, with Metro Vancouver’s population up 30,700 residents over the past year. The report also looked at global economic factors affecting local real estate, including the election of Donald Trump as US president and his recent travel ban on seven countries. The report added, “While the ramifications of this policy are uncertain, our stance is that immigration controls such as these only further elevate the status of Canada as a safe and desirable place to immigrate to.”
