Perhaps it's not that large a statistic relative to actual families, but I wonder how much that affects the stats.

Sharing an apartment but with each young adult having their own bedroom is indeed not that unusual for single people from middle class backgrounds, but since they have their own bedroom, it still wouldn't be considered crowded.
Even if you have two couples sharing a 2 bedroom apartment, it still wouldn't be considered crowded by StatsCan since they only consider it crowded when non-coupled adults share a bedroom.
