Americans fleeing a Trump presidency ought to know one thing about Canada: the housing can be crazy expensive up here.
And a new infographic by Rentseeker hammers this point home.
The real estate and apartment-seeking website has published a graphic that demonstrates how much it costs to buy a home in various cities in Canada and the U.S.
The top of the graphic shows what it costs to buy an average-priced home in cities from Vancouver to St. John's; the lower half, what it costs throughout America.
Canadian homes are valued in loonies, American homes in U.S. dollars.
Methodology
Rentseeker arrived at the numbers using the calculator provided by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), which allows you to figure out how much you'd be paying for a home with a specific down payment.
If anything, it's a reminder that, in some Canadian cities, you'll be paying through the nose to escape Trump.

Canadian Homes You Can Buy With A Median Income (September 2016)
2 3 Avenue, Empress, Alta. — $24,900(01 of35)
This big brick box in Empress, a village about 350 kilometres from Calgary, could use a little work on the inside. It's a historic building with potential for a business to run on the main floor and have a residence on the top one. The inside has mostly been torn apart, so you certainly have your work cut out for you. (credit:Point2Homes)

This three-bedroom P.E.I. home sits on a large, 1.18-acre lot in Duvar, about 120 kilometres from Charlottetown. And it's a fixer-upper. The basement needs foundation. But if you're willing to buy the home as is, it's there for you. (credit:Point2Homes)

718 Woodstock, Sintaluta, Sask. — $12,000(16 of35)
Sintaluta. It's a small town about 45 minutes away from Regina. And a "motivated" seller wants you to have a piece of it with this three-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1,000-sq.-ft. home that is being sold in as-is, where-is condition. The listing doesn't come with any photos of the interior and it's being pitched as a project for renovators who can "bring life back" into the home. So you likely have some real grunt work to do. (credit:Point2Homes)
9 277 Atlantic Avenue 9, Winnipeg, Man. — $46,900(17 of35)
How about that, an affordable home in a major Canadian city! This 626-sq.-ft., one-bedroom apartment is being pitched by an out-of-town seller who's "looking at liquidating his holdings" in Winnipeg. He owns three units, and one of them is this one, which is currently being rented out to tenants who are paying $675 per month plus hydro. So there's a chance to have someone else pay your mortgage. The unit is also assessed at $79,800, so maybe someday you might be able to sell it for what it's worth, at a significant profit to yourself. (credit:Point2Homes)

2394 HWY 572 Highway, Black River, Matheson, Ont. — $24,900(22 of35)
"With a little TLC the opportunities are endless." That's how the ad concludes for this 991-sq.-ft. home in Matheson, which is just over 350 kilometres north of Sudbury. It has an "open concept main floor" and an upstairs big enough to build your own little office. It's being sold as is and there are no interior photos attached to the listing. (credit:Point2Homes)
110 Richardson Road, Charlotte, N.B. — $14,900(23 of35)
A giant, two-bedroom home just over the U.S. border in Maine can be yours, if you're willing to put the work into it. It also comes with a dining room, living room, den and laundry room. And one bathroom. (credit:Point2Homes)

27 Jackson Lane, Canso, N.S. — $16,900(25 of35)
The listing is as honest as they come: "Bring your ideas and tools, this home is in need of a lot of work." It's an 864-sq.-ft. home located in Canso, a small coastal community about 320 kilometres from Halifax. The kitchen has pretty wooden cabinets and the home, overall, looks a tad outdated but could be quite nice with some love. Not too bad for $16,900. (credit:Point2Homes)

1 Dunfield Hill, Dunfield, N.L. — $19,000(31 of35)
Travel 270 kilometres away from St. John's and you'll find yourself in Dunfield, where you'll find a 994-sq.-ft., two-bedroom home that could be yours with some renovation. Listings show that some windows are missing on the home, and the interior could use some sprucing up too. But it's priced to sell, so if you know how to use your tools, it might be worth a shot.
