Winnipeg Building Permits with Construction Values and Dwelling Units

Aggregate data for building permits issued by the City of Winnipeg since 2010 includes permit activity by building type and community. It tracks residential dwelling units created and lost, along with declared construction values. The dataset is provided by data.winnipeg.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in Declared Construction Value and Permit Count over time using the Issue Date column.
• Model the net change in housing stock by calculating Dwelling Units Created minus Dwelling Units Lost for each Community.
• Compare construction activity by Building Type (e.g., residential vs. commercial) across different Permit Groups.
• Identify areas of redevelopment by correlating Demolition Building Type with new Construction Building Type within a Community.

Strengths

• Data covers permits issued since 2010, providing over a decade of temporal coverage.
• Includes multiple key metrics per record: Permit Count, Declared Construction Value, and dwelling unit changes.

Limitations
