The Town of Carstairs recently published a comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment, providing a detailed look at the town's current housing market, population growth, and local economic factors impacting housing availability.

According to the assessment, Carstairs has experienced rapid population growth, with a 109 per cent increase from 2001 to 2021. This growth has led to increased demand for housing, primarily single-family homes. It has also highlighted the need for a more diverse housing stock to support residents of varying ages and economic situations.
