The Senator, The Merchant, Two Carpenters, and a Widow: A Survey of Canadian Landlords in 1871
|
| Abstract |
With data sampled from the 1871 manuscript census, the author compares landlords and housing tenure in twenty urban centres of various sizes, including Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke, to reveal variations in housing markets, in the concentration of the ownership of rental accommodation, and in the relative attraction of housing investments for different people. The author notes that English-speaking Quebecers rivaled French-Canadians for prominence as landlords in Montreal, while in Quebec City they dominated.
