New data sets at the RDC: 

Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) 

A suite of files under the umbrella of the Canadian Housing Survey (CHS) program is now available and can be accessed by researchers with approved projects. This data release includes microdata from the 2022 cycle, which provides information on how Canadians feel about their housing and how housing affects them. Information is collected on core housing need; dwelling characteristics and housing tenure; perceptions of economic hardship from housing costs; support and childcare payments; dwelling and neighbourhood satisfaction; perceptions of neighbourhood issues and safety; housing moves including forced moves; community engagement; life and community satisfaction; self-assessed health; experience with homelessness; socio-demographic characteristics; and access to transportation. Information about household support and childcare payments and household’s access to transportation is new to the 2022 cycle.
 
To enhance the CHS,  the following pre-linked data files have also been released: 

• Detailed income information for 2022 CHS from Administrative Personal Income Masterfile, 2022
• Historical income data from T4 file and T1 Family File (CHS 2021 and 2022)

More information on the CHScan be found at https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=5269.
