Do these figures describe a specific address in N1C?

No. N1C 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 Guelph, Ontario rather than for N1C?

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 N1C means Guelph, 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 N1C?

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.

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 N1C’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.

CMHC surveys purpose-built rental buildings only in centres of 10,000 or more, and publishes zone-level figures for eighteen major centres. N1C is not in one, so only the asking-rent series is available and it describes the whole Guelph area.

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.

Air Quality Health Index at Guelph

1.6

Low risk · 11:00 AM EDT 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	Guelph
Distance from N1C	4.1 km

Measured at Guelph, 4.1 km from N1C. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of N1C. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

69 facilities within 10 km of N1C reported to the inventory. The 12 that released the most to air are listed; the total below covers all of them.

The 12 largest reporters to air of the 69 within 10 km of N1C, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.

All 69 facilities within 10 km — including the 57 not listed above — together reported 1,039 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.

Guelph, Ontario · 23% lower than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Guelph, Ontario, 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	Guelph, Ontario	Canada	Compared

Violent Crime Severity Index	75.0	97.2	23% lower than Canada

Weighted clearance rate	42.8%	36.6%	6.2 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.

Crime Severity Index for Guelph, Ontario (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was higher than in 2011 — 57.8 against 47.9. 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.

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.
