About one in four Canadians say they are worried (10%) or somewhat worried (16%) about paying next month’s housing costs, down from one in three in August 2024 (14% worried; 19% somewhat worried). Almost three in four Canadians say they are somewhat not worried (15%) or not worried (58%). Canadians aged 18 to 34 (35%) and 35 to 54 (30%) are more likely to be worried or somewhat worried about paying next month’s housing costs than Canadians aged 55 and over (16%). However, the percentage of Canadians aged 18 to 34 reporting worry about paying for housing costs decreased from 52 per cent, registered in the August 2024 wave.
