Rent in Canada is outpacing individual income

Since the 1990s, rent for one-bedroom apartments has risen by almost 25 per cent, while the median income of Canadians aged 25 to 54 has increased by only 13 per cent.

Rent and income are shown in 2021 dollars adjusted for inflation, with 1990 as the baseline.
