Data collection underway · Ontario · in progress
This study is being collected now
We are gathering the underlying data and will publish the findings here with the full sample size, the median cost by city and suite type, and the collection date. We do not publish a figure until we have actually measured it, so this page shows the method now and the numbers when they are ready.
How we collect and verify our dataHow we collected this
We capture advertised base monthly pricing by suite type from retirement residences across Ontario (supplemented by scripted pricing calls where price is not advertised), record what each price includes, and report medians with the sample size and collection date for each city.
