Nunavik Statistics Program

The Nunavik Housing Bureau recently published the report entitled: Housing needs study in Nunavik. The NHB had commissioned Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton to produce a portrait of social housing in Nunavik. Since 2013, a longitudinal study has been regularly conducted by the NHB, in 2013, 2017, 2019 and 2021. The objective of the study is to measure the adequacy between supply and demand for social housing. This survey, similar to a census, covers the entire population residing in social housing in the fourteen communities of Nunavik, in addition to some private dwellings. 

The Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation du Québec (MAMH) released the 2025 Population Decree for the Northern villages. This data is the reference for the application of laws and regulations as well as for the management of government programs. The data can be viewed here.

A new report from the research program to evaluate the cost-of-living reduction measures in Nunavik is now available. Entitled “Price Dynamics and the Impact of the Food and Other Essentials Program”, this report analyzes recent trends in grocery prices in Nunavik and explores factors that may affect the effectiveness of the Food and Other Essentials program. The french version can be consulted here, and the english version here.

Recently, Statistics Canada released the results of the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey. This edition, the sixth one, focuses on families and children including child care, access to services, family stability, intergenerational trauma and discrimination, sense of belonging, and Indigenous languages and culture. The available data for Inuit people in the province of Québec has been added to Nunivaat. Some of it is available in the children section, and some other in the Indigenous People one.
