Here’s the correlation of Nova Scotia’s population growth and how and when its buildings were constructed. It tracks construction trends by decade, showing where growth surged, which eras produced the most housing, and how building size and condition have changed over time.
The data highlights the province’s large stock of mid-century homes—many now aging and prime candidates for deep retrofits. It also illustrates how newer construction patterns align with recent population increases.
