Homeowner Repair and Renovation Survey (HRRS)

Summary of changes

Activity on this program started: 1987

Reference period of change - 2002

Since 1987, Statistics Canada has produced estimates of homeowners' expenses on repairs and renovations from two surveys: - the Survey of Household Spending (SHS, record number 3508), previously called the Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX), and - the Homeowner Repair and Renovation Survey (HRRS).

Beginning with the reference year 1996, these estimates were produced annually by both sources. In recent years there have been concerns about widening the gap between the estimates of repairs and renovations produced by these surveys, and the added response burden in producing these estimates from two sources. Because key users both within and outside Statistics Canada rely on this information, an assessment of the estimates, and the need for two different surveys, was undertaken. The assessment led to the decision to cancel the HRRS, as of the reference year 2003.

Reference period of change - 2001

The Homeowner Repair and Renovation Survey (HRRS) for reference year of 2000 was not conducted due to operational constraints.
