In case anyone is interested in numbers, the Metro Vancouver Housing Data Book lists all the demolitions data for 2008 to 2018.
Ground oriented - 10 year annual average
Vancouver 793
Surrey 514
Burnaby 370
Richmond 287
Delta 118
N Vancouver District 115
Coquitlam 100
West Vancouver 100
Obviously some are replaced with new ground oriented homes, but many are redeveloped as apartments.
Apartment demolitions - 10 year annual average
Vancouver 218
Burnaby 101
City of North Vancouver 22
New Westminster 15
Coquitlam 13
So in the decade to 2018 it would seem that not that many apartments were redeveloped overall. That's probably a bit higher now, but Metro haven't published a Data Book since 2019.
