CMHC Rental Market Survey, primary rental market · B.C. Stats annual consumer price index, based on Statistics Canada

October survey averages: $1,302 in 2022 and $1,556 in 2025. Annual B.C. CPI: 145.5 and 158.5. The 2025 rent equals about $1,428 in 2022 purchasing power. Real change = (1,556 ÷ 1,302) ÷ (158.5 ÷ 145.5) − 1. Bars share a zero-to-25% scale. This calculation compares survey averages; it is not CMHC's same-sample rent-growth measure.
