A total of 5,952 survey responses were received -- the largest number of responses since the study’s inception in 1973. The last two studies were conducted in 2017 and 2013.
“We heard you -- thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and experiences with us,” said Jeff Lehman, Muskoka District Council District Chair, in a press release. “The valuable insights we received from our Second Home Survey will fuel our efforts to enhance the quality of life in Muskoka.”According to the report, the seasonal population across Muskoka has decreased by 0.56% since 2017 , however, the combined permanent and seasonal population has grown a cumulative 4% .
Most of Muskoka’s design-forward lakefront cottages can very aptly double as year-round homes -- complete with all the modern conveniences -- especially now that remote work has become the norm. Of those surveyed, 10.6% cited Muskoka as the location of their permanent residence. A total of 10.3% of respondents from the survey plan to make their second home their permanent home in the future, with an average of six years until their planned move.
While it's easy to envision a peaceful lakeside lifestyle along the pines year-round, the 90% of seasonal residents have numerous reasons for choosing to permanently live elsewhere. Those most commonly cited include distance from employment and family and friends, climate, transportation limitations, and issues with internet access, according to the study.
