A0H
Newfoundland and Labrador — a rural forward sortation area
In plain English
A0H had a population of 16,743 in the 2021 Census in Newfoundland and Labrador, outside any census metropolitan area. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.
There were 10,841 private dwellings across 20,868 km².
Median household income was 30% lower than the national figure.
Median after-tax household income was 26% lower than the national figure.
The median age was 33% higher than the national figure.
The unemployment rate was 2.0× higher than the national figure.
The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was 93% higher than the national figure.
Average household size was 8% lower than the national figure.
This is a rural forward sortation area, which can cover a very large territory — figures describe the whole of it, not one community within it.

No city comparison. A0H is not inside a census metropolitan area or agglomeration, so there is no city to compare it against. Statistics Canada classifies the surrounding area by how strongly it is influenced by a metropolitan centre, which is not a place and is not a useful benchmark. Province and Canada are.

0% of A0H’s residents live in a block Statistics Canada classifies as an amenity-dense neighbourhood — one with a grocery store, pharmacy, health care, child care, a primary school, a library, a transit stop and a source of employment all in range. Nationally it is 16%. This is StatCan’s composite, not ours.
- These measure how close an amenity is, never its quality. A school 500 m away is a school 500 m away — nothing here says anything about the school itself.
- The proximity index is scaled against all of Canada, where 1 is the single most well-served block in the country and the national average is close to zero. It is useful for comparing places and misleading as a score.
- A0H is a rural forward sortation area and can cover a very large territory. The shares below describe its residents, weighted by where they actually live, not the area on a map.

Reporting facilities nearby
2024 · within 10 kmFacilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of A0H. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.
| Facility | Distance | Substances | Released to air |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valentine Gold MineMillertown · Mining and Quarrying | inside this area | 10 | 336 t |
| IncineratorMcCallum · Waste Treatment and Disposal | inside this area | 1incl. dioxins/furans | 0 t |
Together these facilities reported 336 t released to air in 2024. That is what was reported within 10 km — not what reached this area, which depends on stack height, wind and chemistry that this inventory does not model.
- The inventory is threshold-based: a facility reports only when it exceeds a quantity for a listed substance. Smaller emitters, road traffic, home heating and agriculture are not in it.
- Quantities are reported by the facilities themselves and are estimates, not measurements at the fence line. Being close to a facility is not the same as being exposed to what it reports.
- Dioxins and furans are reported in grams of toxic equivalent, a toxicity-weighted figure that cannot be added to a tonnage. Facilities reporting them are marked, and those grams are left out of every tonnage here — the rest of what those facilities released is counted.

- A0H is not inside a metropolitan area that publishes crime figures, so the comparison is against Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole.
- The Crime Severity Index weights offences by seriousness and is set so that Canada in 2006 = 100. A rate per 100,000 counts incidents without weighting them. The two are not interchangeable and should not be compared to each other.

Common questions
- Do these figures describe a specific address in A0H?
- No. A0H is a forward sortation area — the first three characters of a postal code — and every figure here describes the whole of it. That is the finest granularity Canadian open data supports; a full six-character postal code requires a licensed Canada Post file. This is a rural forward sortation area, which can cover a very large territory, so the gap between the area and any one community inside it is especially wide.
- Why is the crime figure for Newfoundland and Labrador rather than for A0H?
- Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada. Statistics Canada publishes it by police service, aggregated to metropolitan areas and provinces, which for A0H means Newfoundland and Labrador. There is no municipal feed covering this area, so the regional figure is the finest available.
- How current is this profile?
- The census figures are from the 2021 Census. The other panels carry their own dates, shown beside each one, because they are published on different schedules — crime annually, CMHC rents each October, asking rents quarterly, and the air quality index live. Each figure is labelled with the vintage it came from rather than the date you are reading it.
- Does this page rank or score A0H?
- No. There is no score, no grade, no star rating and no ranking against other areas. Every figure is a measurement with a source, a date and a stated granularity, and none of them are combined. The site describes places using published statistics; it does not draw conclusions about the people who live in them.
What this page will not do
No score, no ranking, no grade. This page will not score this neighbourhood, rank it against another, or present the people who live here as a feature of the place. Every figure above is a measurement with a source, a date and a stated granularity, and none of them are added together.
