METRO VANCOUCER \u2014 Metro Vancouver\u2019s new Housing Data Dashboard<\/a> has launched and is being touted as an interactive tool that provides an overview of the region\u2019s housing market and the people it impacts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our region continues to grow, access to reliable housing data is more important than ever,\u201d said Metro Vancouver board chair Mike Hurley in a statement. \u201cThe Housing Data Dashboard brings critical information together in one place, making it easier for planners, decision-makers and the public to understand trends, identify challenges and take informed action to improve housing outcomes across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key points from the latest housing data\u00a0include:<\/p>\n

New housing supply continues to trend towards higher density, with apartments making up most housing starts and completions across the region.
\nWhile housing starts have declined in recent years, housing completions reached a record high in 2025 as projects that launched earlier in the development cycle were completed.
\nWith rental vacancy rates reaching 3.7 per cent in 2025, the highest level in the past decade, pressure on rents eased across the region, contributing to a slower pace of rent growth compared to recent years.<\/p>\n

The dashboard replaces Metro Vancouver\u2019s Housing Data Book, which has been published since 2009.<\/p>\n

The new dashboard\u2019s \u201cenhanced accessibility supports more informed decision-making by local governments, researchers, industry, and community partners, and helps advance key priorities in Metro 2050<\/a>, including improving housing affordability, increasing supply, and aligning growth with regional planning objectives,\u201d the release notes.<\/p>\n
