Do you have census data on the subject? Seems like if a place is 70 percent vacant you'd have more evidence than 'people turn the lights off at night.

- sandworm101 8y agoCensus data isnt the whole story. Many elderly people actually live in care homes, but thier residence/house sits waiting for them. So too with people who own houses to maintain a canadian "residence" when in reality they live overseas.
- jackvalentine 8y agoThe Canadian census doesn't capture a specific snapshot in time? When the census is held in Australia the data is collected about where you were on the night that it is held - if you're in a hotel or a care home then you're counted as living there for the night. If you're visiting friends you're counted at their residence. 2016 was a while ago now, but it'll be interested to see how the population holds up at the next one: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=5915025&Geo2=PR&Code2=59&Data=Count&SearchText=Burnaby&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=All&TABID=1 https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/pr...
