Of 2021 housing starts, 29.5 per cent were for single detached houses, up from 26.4 per cent in 2020. A total of 2.3 per cent were for semi-detached homes, 27.9 per cent were for row houses and 40.3 per cent were for apartments — all slight declines. Both Gatineau and Ontario municipalities near Ottawa reported decreases in housing starts in 2021: by 11.1 per cent and 14.7 per cent, respectively.
The estimated population of the City of Ottawa was 1,032,900 in mid-2021 and 1,046,400 by the end of 2021, representing a 2.3-per-cent increase from the end of 2020.
