* **Families are leaving the GTA in search of family-sized homes:** Between 2016 and 2021, the City of Toronto, Peel Region, and York Region collectively experienced net outflows of residents to other parts of Ontario, particularly among adults aged 25–37 and children under 6.
* **Migration patterns track where family-suitable homes are being built:** The regions gaining the most residents per capita, such as Lanark, Oxford, and Haliburton, are also those that expanded their stock of ground-oriented ownership housing, with a 0.71 correlation between within-province migration inflows and new supply per capita.
* **Ground-oriented ownership homes are the family norm:** More than three-quarters of couples with children in Ontario live in single-detached, semi-detached, or townhouse-style homes, versus just 52% of other households.
* **Apartments rarely meet the needs of families with multiple children:** Few apartment units in Ontario have three or more bedrooms, making ground-level homes virtually the only ownership option for households with multiple children.
* **Policy is failing to plan for families:** By ignoring the shortage of child-friendly, ownership-oriented housing, provincial and municipal plans underestimate future GTA outmigration and undermine Canada’s stated commitment to adequate housing for all families.
