    CMHC housing starts, seasonally adjusted annual rates, quarterly

    Quarterly housing starts from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation as published by Statistics Canada (table 34-10-0140-01, 'Total units', seasonally adjusted at annual rates): the number of dwelling units started, for Canada, the 10 provinces and 34 census metropolitan areas. Values are published in thousands of units (kept verbatim — the unit is documented on the column, multiply by 1,000 for unit counts). Coverage 1990-Q1 to the present for Canada, the provinces and most CMAs; genuine upstream gaps are kept missing, never zero-filled (six CMAs start 2007-Q1, Abbotsford-Mission and Kingston start 2014-Q1, and the Ottawa-Gatineau Quebec part is missing its three latest quarters).
