N0M
Ontario — a rural forward sortation area
In plain English
N0M had a population of 69,177 in the 2021 Census in Ontario. No census metropolitan area covers most of it. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.
There were 32,011 private dwellings across 3,593 km².
Median household income was 8% higher than the national figure.
Median after-tax household income was 10% higher than the national figure.
The median age was 11% higher than the national figure.
The unemployment rate was 29% lower than the national figure.
The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was 28% lower than the national figure.
Average household size was about the same as 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. N0M does touch the London census metropolitan area, but only 21% of its residents live inside it. Comparing the whole area against London would describe somewhere most of it is not, so the comparison is left out rather than shown faintly. Province and Canada cover all of it.
Getting around

0% of N0M’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.

Rent
October 2025 · survey-zone levelTwo different rents, and neither one is “the rent here”.
CMHC surveys what tenants are paying — including people who have not moved in years — and only in purpose-built rental buildings of three units or more, so it leaves out rented condos, which in the largest cities is most of the market. Statistics Canada measures what is being asked in current listings, across the whole market. If you are staying put the first is closer; if you are moving, the second is.
N0M sits inside one CMHC survey zone, Remainder of London CMA.
Only 21% of N0M's residents live inside a CMHC survey zone. These figures describe those zones — they are not a rent for the rest of this area, which CMHC does not survey.
| Unit | Being paid (CMHC) | Reliability | Being asked (StatCan) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | not published | — | $1,220 |
| 1 bedroom | not published | — | $1,560 |
| 2 bedrooms | $1,654 | use with caution (d) | $1,930 |
| 3+ bedrooms | not published | — | $2,400 |
Reliability is CMHC’s own code for how much the sample supports the figure, from excellent to use with caution. Where several zones cover N0M, the weakest of their codes is shown.
- 79% of N0M's residents live outside any CMHC survey zone and are not represented in the figures tenants pay.
- CMHC withholds a figure when too few buildings of that size were surveyed to publish one reliably. A blank is a withheld figure, not a cheap apartment.
- Neither figure is "the rent" for this area. One is a survey of buildings, the other a survey of listings, and both describe areas larger than a postal code.

All 69 facilities within 10 km — including the 57 not listed above — together reported 11,295 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.

Crime
2025 · metropolitan-area figuresThese figures describe the whole of London, Ontario — a metropolitan area — not N0M. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.
Only 21% of N0M's residents live inside London, Ontario. The rest are policed by different services, which report their own figures — so this is not a figure for most of this area.

- 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 N0M?
- No. N0M 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 London, Ontario rather than for N0M?
- 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 N0M means London, Ontario. 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 N0M?
- 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.
