RECENT BOOM

‘Recent years have witnessed a
tremendous resklential building
Room In Canada. Since tho Consus
of 1M1 there has been an ostimated
Increase of 654,000 households, but
the average size of households has
declined from 42 persons in 1941
to 39 in 1949, an Indication that
the size of families is not as large
as it was and that fewer familles
are “doubling up.”

There were 338336 new bulld-
fog units constructed In Canada
during the five years from 1945 to
the end of 1949, and an additional
2sm00 units were created by con-
Nersions of existing structures. Of
the dwelling units constructed
during the five-year period, 272,230
were one-family detached,
were twofamily detached, 3,440
were in rows or terraces, and)
$3.165 were In apartments or flats.
WOOD USED

The 161 Census revealed that
the single house was the predom|-
nant type of dwelling in rural
areas in all parts of Canada, and
in western Canada more than
threequarters of urban dwellings
were also of this type. Only In the
urban centres of the Province of
Quebec, where apartments and
flats were most numerous, did the
gle house constitute 2 minor
proportion of all dwellings. On the
other band, the semi-detached or
so-called “double”
in Western Canada. Tt formed an
important proportion of al] homes
only in the urban parts of On-
tario and the Maritime Provinces.

In 1941 virtually all dwellings in
the Maritime Provinces were of
wood construction. This was true
also of rural areas in other parts
of Cans Ontario, and,
to m lesser extent, of the urban
centres in the Prairfe Provinces
and British Columbia. In contrast,
three out of every five dwellings
in urban Ontario and Quebec were
bullt of brick, and in urban Quebec
shout 10 per cont were of stone.
Geneon houses were not common
fn eastern Canada but fn the
Prairie Provinces they outnumber-
#4 trick housen by nore 4/00. The
ptucen hese was mort common in
Eritich Columbia. In the urban
contres of that province, 11 per
cent of ali homes were eomstruct-
ed principally of stucco.
