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

38 points lower than the national share of 70%

Share of P7G’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.

0% of P7G’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.

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 P7G. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

16 facilities within 10 km of P7G 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 16 within 10 km of P7G, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.

Crime

2025 · metropolitan-area figures
Read this first:

These figures describe the whole of Thunder Bay, Ontario — a metropolitan area — not P7G. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Only 78% of P7G's residents live inside Thunder Bay, Ontario. The rest are policed by different services, which report their own figures — so this is not a figure for most of this area.

Thunder Bay, Ontario · 52% higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Thunder Bay, 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.

Common questions

Do these figures describe a specific address in P7G?
No. P7G 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 Thunder Bay, Ontario rather than for P7G?
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 P7G means Thunder Bay, 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 P7G?
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.
