Methodology

Estimates start from the CMHC average rent for the selected geography and bedroom count (actual survey values). Where CMHC suppresses a cell, the estimator falls back to the geography's all-bedroom average scaled by the CMA bedroom ratio. An optional construction-era factor is derived from CMHC's rent-by-year-of-construction table for the same geography (CMA-level ratio when the zone cell is suppressed). Property-type and condition modifiers are Kirin model assumptions, not CMHC data. Output is bracketed +/- 10%.
