Trailing 12-month sum of actual monthly units · CMA/CA boundaries differ from real-estate board boundaries. This includes current census centres only; do not compare these counts directly with all-Canada SAAR. Starts, completions and construction stock measure different stages. Selected CMAs use Table 34-10-0154-01; smaller-centre series use Table 34-10-0155-01 (linked in the source register).
