A housing report from Altus Group found Canadian seniors can't be lumped into one category when it comes to housing.

The report categorized Canadians aged 65 and over into three groups: younger seniors (ages 65-74), middleaged seniors (ages 75-84) and older seniors (ages 85 and over).

Findings included the fact that the majority of seniors live in private households opposed to collective dwellings (dwellings such as nursing homes, long-term care or retirement homes) with only one in 12 seniors living in such places in 2011.
