Public Data Repository
Summary survey data for all survey years can be accessed through our public data repository at the University of Guelph library:
The repository currently houses all annual reports, and a spreadsheet (.csv file) containing regional median rents, median prices, and rent/price ratios for each survey year. The repository will continue to be updated with future data products, reports and other documents produced from the survey.
