More Real Estate Options for Singles

According to the 2016 census, nearly four million Canadians lived alone in 2016, up from 1.7 million in 1981. People choosing to live alone accounted for 28.2 per cent of the 14.1 million households, more than couples with or without children, single-parent families and multiple family households. Some of the reasons include people marrying later, divorcing more, surviving spouses and staying single longer.

Interestingly, the growth in solo living has coincided with the rise in condominium construction. Twenty-eight per cent of people living alone resided in these types of accommodation, either owned or rented, said Statistics Canada, up from seven per cent in 1981.
