R0M

R0M had a population of 19,451 in the 2021 Census in Manitoba, outside any census metropolitan area. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.

There were 9,273 private dwellings across 11,233 km².

Median household income was 16% lower than the national figure.

Median after-tax household income was 15% lower than the national figure.

The median age was about the same as the national figure.

The unemployment rate was 43% lower than the national figure.

The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was 66% higher 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.

0% of R0M’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.
• R0M is a rural forward sortation area and can cover a very large territory. The shares below describe its residents, weighted by where they actually live, not the area on a map.

All 17 facilities within 10 km — including the 5 not listed above — together reported 4,644 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.

• R0M is not inside a metropolitan area that publishes crime figures, so the comparison is against Manitoba 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.

Police-reported crime only — offences that are not reported to police are not counted anywhere in these figures.

Do these figures describe a specific address in R0M?

No. R0M 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 Manitoba rather than for R0M?

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 R0M means Manitoba. 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 R0M?

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.
