Do these figures describe a specific address in G5J?

No. G5J 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 Quebec rather than for G5J?

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 G5J means Quebec. 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 G5J?

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. G5J 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 G5J’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.

The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Campbellton, 76 km from G5J. That is far enough to be a different airshed, so its reading is not shown here as though it described this area. The index is published for about 130 communities and zones, not continuously across Canada.

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of G5J. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

Reported releases to air, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.
Facility	Distance	Substances	Released to air
Uniboard Canada inc, usine SayabecSayabec · Wood Products	4.5 km	9	693 t
GDS Valoribois inc. (Div. Lac-au-Saumon)Lac-au-Saumon · Wood Products	0.6 km	6	158 t
Agropur Coopérative - Usine de AmquiAmqui · Other Manufacturing	inside this area	0	not reported

Together these facilities reported 850 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.

These figures describe the whole of Quebec — a province or territory — not G5J. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Crime Severity Index, 2025

61.6

Quebec · 18% lower than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Quebec, 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	Quebec	Canada	Compared
Crime Severity Index	61.6	75.0	18% lower than Canada
Violent Crime Severity Index	98.0	97.2	about the same as Canada
Non-violent Crime Severity Index	47.5	66.8	29% lower than Canada
Weighted clearance rate	45.6%	36.6%	8.9 percentage points higher 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	Quebec	Canada	Compared
All violations	4,199 per 100,000	6,065 per 100,000	31% lower than Canada
Criminal Code, excluding traffic	3,673 per 100,000	5,585 per 100,000	34% lower than Canada
Violent Criminal Code	1,472 per 100,000	1,443 per 100,000	about the same as Canada
Property crime	1,768 per 100,000	3,141 per 100,000	44% lower than Canada

Crime Severity Index for Quebec (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was lower than in 2011 — 61.5 against 73.3. 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.

G5J is not inside a metropolitan area that publishes crime figures, so the comparison is against Quebec 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.
