About these ticks

Targets and comparisons

Legal limit for sitting tenants, not drawn

  • This page shows the same average two-bedroom rent after inflation, so it carries that measure’s target line. The line below comes from that page.

    See: Rent for a 2-bedroom.

  • Legal limit for sitting tenants, not drawn: the Province’s yearly limit on rent increases for existing tenants was 3% in 2025 and is 2.3% in 2026 (2.2% in 2027). CMHC’s average rent covers sitting tenants and new tenancies together, and this page shows rent in dollars, not a yearly change, so the limit is not drawn.

  • Calculated here. Rent is CMHC's October average for two-bedroom apartments in purpose-built buildings of three or more units (CMHC's headline figure); prices are Statistics Canada's annual average consumer price index for Victoria.

  • The two areas are close but not identical: rent covers the Victoria metropolitan area; the price index samples prices in the Victoria urban area.

In plain words

Up 43% since 2015. Up 22% since 2019. In the latest year: up 4.0% after inflation, from $2,039 in 2024 to $2,120 in 2025 (rent in 2025 dollars).

How much the average two-bedroom rent has risen beyond the general rise in prices. Rent for each year is converted into today’s dollars using Victoria’s consumer price index.

How we decide “Worse”

The figure in the headline changed 43.4% between 2015 and 2025 (rent in 2025 dollars), at or above the 5% threshold.

A lower number means rent is rising more slowly than prices in general. The label judges the headline: rent after inflation in 2025 compared with 2015. In 2025 dollars, the average two-bedroom rent went from $2,039 in 2024 to $2,120 in 2025 (+4.0% after inflation). Over ten years (2015 to 2025) rent rose 87.9% while prices rose 31.0%, so after allowing for inflation, rent was 43.4% higher in 2025 than in 2015. Over five years (2020 to 2025): +18.0% after inflation.

Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.

All notes on this number

Why it matters. Rents always go up in dollars. This shows whether they went up faster than everything else, which is what squeezes household budgets.

  • Calculated here. Rent is CMHC's October average for two-bedroom apartments in purpose-built buildings of three or more units (CMHC's headline figure); prices are Statistics Canada's annual average consumer price index for Victoria.
  • The two areas are close but not identical: rent covers the Victoria metropolitan area; the price index samples prices in the Victoria urban area.
  • After inflation means rent compared with prices in general. Against incomes: from 2019 to 2023, the average two-bedroom rent rose 27% ($1,448 to $1,839) and the median total income of all census families in Victoria rose 20% ($101,320 to $121,850). Income is from tax returns; 2023 is the latest year in the income table, so the comparison ends there.
  • Average rent mixes long-time tenants with new tenants. People moving today usually pay more.
  • The chart starts in 1995: Statistics Canada changed how city price indexes are calculated in January 1995, so earlier years are not converted. Statistics Canada also notes that the rent survey area is redrawn every five years to follow the latest census.

How the agency describes it: Victoria census metropolitan area (rent); Victoria consumer price index area (prices).

How we calculated it

Calculated here This figure is not published by an agency as is. It is calculated here, by script, from the public data listed below. It belongs with Rent for a 2-bedroom.

Formula

Rent in 2025 dollars = rent in year × (price index 2025 ÷ price index in that year). Change after inflation = rent in 2025 dollars, 2025 ÷ same for 2015 − 1.

With the latest numbers

  • Price index for Victoria (2002 = 100): 118.6 in 2015, 155.4 in 2025 (+31.0%).
  • Average rent: $1,128 in 2015, $2,120 in 2025 (+87.9%).
  • 2015 rent in 2025 dollars: $1,128 × 155.4 ÷ 118.6 = $1,478.
  • $2,120 ÷ $1,478 − 1 = +43.4%.
  • Rent against income, 2019 to 2023: rent $1,839 ÷ $1,448 − 1 = +27.0%; income $121,850 ÷ $101,320 − 1 = +20.3%.
