Courtenay Housing Needs Report 2024
In 2020, the City of Courtenay released its initial Housing Needs Report in response to new legislation and the changing housing market landscape. Similar to many other Canadian communities, Courtenay has been grappling with escalating housing pressures, exemplified by rapidly rising housing costs.
Recognizing the dynamic nature of the housing market, the availability of new data (particularly, 2021 Census data), and the necessity for updated housing reports, the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD), within which Courtenay is situated, commissioned this work. It serves as an update to the previously utilized data while incorporating new analyses. The ultimate aim is to provide an overview of the current and expected local housing situation.
