Read CMA vacancy and average rent levels beside starts, completions and permit units — the published supply and rent stack for purpose-built rental siting.
What the weekly edition delivers
- CMHC vacancy rates for apartment structures of six units and over by CMA (StatCan 34-10-0127-01)
- CMHC average rents by structure and unit type (34-10-0133-01) with unit type kept explicit
- Starts and completions as unadjusted unit levels, and starts-to-completions only when both levels and a denominator clear the bar
- Building-permit dwelling units as a forward municipal-survey read — separate from CMHC starts
