Scale of need (the city's own figures)

"The City of Edmonton's Affordable Housing Needs Assessment has identified that nearly one in eight Edmonton households (46,155) are living in Core Housing Need, meaning they pay more than 30 per cent of their before-tax household income on housing costs, live in crowded conditions or housing is in need of major repairs."

"Core Housing Need disproportionately impacts equity-seeking groups, with 36 per cent of single mother renter households, 27 per cent of Indigenous renter households, and 19 per cent of racialized renter households living in Core Housing Need."
