Cumulative net new homes at each report, against the order's year-by-year cumulative target. Shaded band: years remaining.

Progress toward the five-year target
Cumulative net new homes as a share of each city's five-year target, by years since its order took effect. Dashed lines are each city's own target path, so a solid line above its dashed line is ahead of schedule.
Side by side
Bars share one scale per measure across all 17; the thin grey tick marks the 17-city median.

How the numbers are built
- % of target
- Net new homes completed since the order took effect, divided by the cumulative target to the end of the latest report's period. Group 4 has only six-month interim reports, so its figures compare half a year of completions with the full Year 1 target.
- Per capita
- Divided by Statistics Canada's July 1, 2025 population estimate. "Per year" divides by the years the report covers: 2 for Year 2 reports, 1 for Year 1 reports, 0.5 for Group 4's interim reports.
- Targets
- Set by the Province at 75% of each city's estimated five-year housing need, ramping up year by year. Year-by-year figures come from the Storeys tracker and match the five-year totals in the Province's announcements.
- Price premium
- Typical strata value ÷ (850 sq ft × $320 hard cost × 1.35 ÷ 0.8). Detached land share = (typical detached value − 2,500 sq ft × $320 × 1.35) ÷ typical detached value. Estimates rank cities more reliably than they measure any one.
Reading these numbers
- Reports are at different stages. Group 1 (Vancouver, North Van District, Delta, Port Moody, West Van) has two full years. In Group 2, Surrey, City of North Van, Maple Ridge and White Rock have two years, and in Group 3 so does Port Coquitlam — their Year 2 reports went to council in July–September 2026 but aren't yet on the Province's page. New Westminster and City of Langley are still on Year 1 (their Year 2 reports were due by mid-September but aren't online). Group 4 has six months.
- Year 2 tenure breakdowns weren't available for Maple Ridge, White Rock or Port Coquitlam, so those cells are blank. Maple Ridge's Year 2 net (521) is its two-year cumulative (1,272) minus Year 1 (751). Port Coquitlam's figures come from Tri-Cities Dispatch's coverage of the council report.
- Targets count completions, so they mostly reflect projects approved years before the orders. "Approved units" is the better forward signal, but councils count it differently (Burnaby includes rezonings; Richmond mostly building permits).
- West Vancouver is the only Metro municipality the Province has escalated to a cabinet order (April 2026, Ambleside plan). Pitt Meadows' report calls its target unrealistic.
- Blank tenure cells were not stated. Port Coquitlam reports more below-market units (121) than rental units (20), so its categories may overlap. North Van District's cumulative figure (832) is 4 lower than its two periods summed, which it attributes to data corrections. Pitt Meadows has no strata value from BC Assessment.
- Coquitlam's interim report on the Province's page is an attachment excerpt; figures come from the full report on coquitlam.ca.
