Metropolitan geography
CMA2021
Official census metropolitan areas, with whole-area source identity and a separately reviewed construction-data adapter.
Keep the completion standard with the number. Official CMHC construction-stage completion: generally all proposed work has been performed, although up to 10% may remain under some circumstances. For multi-dwelling buildings the stage applies to the structure; the reported counts are dwelling units. This is not legal occupancy certification, actual occupation, sale or absorption. The rate describes a construction flow relative to population; availability, legal occupancy and affordability have separate definitions.

An identifier needs its source role.
The completion CSV retains a 2011-prefixed identifier. CMHC's original publication notes explicitly assign 2021 geography from January 2023. This reviewed adapter keeps both facts, alongside the population's national CMA2021 code and the original boundary's provincial-part code.
The underlying source inventory contains CMA and CA provincial parts. Each of these four selected CMAs has one part in the complete inventory. Historical estimated areas used for air and heat retain their separate identities.
Source-first intelligence
Quote the flow and the denominator.
Retain the calendar year, completion milestone, population reference date, preliminary status and CMA edition with the rate. A single housing indicator does not establish an overall city score or an official quarterly result.
