Do these figures describe a specific address in A1Y?

No. A1Y 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. Conditions on one street can differ from the area average.

Why is the crime figure for Newfoundland and Labrador rather than for A1Y?

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 A1Y 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 A1Y?

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.

No city comparison. A1Y 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.

How close everyday amenities are — not how good they are. Each figure is the share of this area’s residents who have that amenity within the distance shown, weighted by where people actually live.

0% of A1Y’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.

Air Quality Health Index at St. John's

1.52

Low risk · 1:30 PM NDT Thursday 13 August 2026

The Air Quality Health Index combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale. It is a reading at a station, not a measurement of any address.
Station	St. John's
Distance from A1Y	42 km
Reading	1.52 — Low risk
Highest forecast	2

Measured at St. John's, 42 km from A1Y. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.

No facility within 10 km of A1Y reported a release to the National Pollutant Release Inventory. That means nothing was reported above the reporting threshold — it is not a measurement of the air here, and it is not a clean bill of health.

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.

These figures describe the whole of Newfoundland and Labrador — a province or territory — not A1Y. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Crime Severity Index, 2025

88.7

Newfoundland and Labrador · 18% higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Newfoundland and Labrador, 2025. The Crime Severity Index weights each offence by how serious the courts treat it, so it is an index and not a count — 100 is Canada in 2006.
Measure	Newfoundland and Labrador	Canada	Compared
Crime Severity Index	88.7	75.0	18% higher than Canada
Violent Crime Severity Index	100.2	97.2	3% higher than Canada
Non-violent Crime Severity Index	84.9	66.8	27% higher than Canada
Weighted clearance rate	28.7%	36.6%	7.9 percentage points lower than Canada

Reported incidents per 100,000 residents, 2025. These count incidents without weighting them by seriousness, so they are not comparable with the indexes above.
Violations	Newfoundland and Labrador	Canada	Compared
All violations	7,966 per 100,000	6,065 per 100,000	31% higher than Canada
Criminal Code, excluding traffic	7,222 per 100,000	5,585 per 100,000	29% higher than Canada
Violent Criminal Code	1,838 per 100,000	1,443 per 100,000	27% higher than Canada
Property crime	3,768 per 100,000	3,141 per 100,000	20% higher than Canada

Crime Severity Index for Newfoundland and Labrador (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was higher than in 2011 — 88.7 against 71.8. A change in the index can come from a change in the number of offences, in how serious they were, or in how many were reported to police.

A1Y 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.
