In 2018, seven in ten private households lived in a dwelling they owned in Canada. LGBTQIA+ households, on the other hand, were only 46 percent homeowners, and for most homeowners had a mortgage to repay. In addition, six percent of LGBTQIA+ households lived in subsidized housing, two percentage points more than the rest of Canadian households.
According to StatCan, the Canadian statistical institute, the LGBTQ2+ population is relatively young: people aged 15 to 24 make up 30 percent of the LGBTQ2+ population, compared to 14 percent of the non-LGBTQ2+ population. This would contribute to lower rates of homeownership among LGBTQ2+ households compared to all households, as homeownership rates tend, on average, to increase in older age groups.
