Getting around

2021 reference year · dissemination-block level
What this measures:

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.

Residents with a grocery store within a 1 km walk

77%

6 points higher than the national share of 70%

Share of N6H’s residents with each amenity within reach. The proximity index in the last column is scaled against all of Canada, where the national average is close to zero — read it against Canada, never on its own.

13% of N6H’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.

Rent

October 2025 · survey-zone level
Read this first:

Two 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.

N6H spans 3 CMHC survey zones — Northwest (98%), Remainder of London CMA (1%), North (1%). The figures below are averaged across them, weighted by population.

Average rent paid in London's survey zones covering N6H (CMHC, October 2025), against average asking rent across London (Statistics Canada, January 2026). The two are measured differently and are not comparable line by line.

2 bedrooms$1,675use with caution (d)$1,930

Reliability is CMHC’s own code for how much the sample supports the figure, from excellent to use with caution. Where several zones cover N6H, the weakest of their codes is shown.

Reporting facilities nearby

2024 · within 10 km
What this is:

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of N6H. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

42 facilities within 10 km of N6H 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 42 within 10 km of N6H, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.

Crime

Common questions

Do these figures describe a specific address in N6H?
No. N6H 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 London, Ontario rather than for N6H?
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 N6H 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 N6H?
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 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.
