Do these figures describe a specific address in S0K?

No. S0K 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 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan rather than for S0K?

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 S0K means Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. 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 S0K?

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.

S0K

Saskatchewan — a rural forward sortation area

S0K had a population of 90,185 in the 2021 Census in Saskatchewan. No census metropolitan area covers most of it. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.

There were 37,514 private dwellings across 31,703 km².

Median household income was 8% higher than the national figure.

Median after-tax household income was 9% higher than the national figure.

The median age was 7% lower than the national figure.

The unemployment rate was 45% lower than the national figure.

The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was about the same as the national figure.

Average household size was 8% higher than 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. S0K does touch the Saskatoon census metropolitan area, but only 43% of its residents live inside it. Comparing the whole area against Saskatoon 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.

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 S0K’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.
S0K 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.

Source: Statistics Canada, Proximity Measures Database (17-26-0002), 2021 reference year. Data current as of 2026-08-12. Statistics Canada Open Licence. Measured at the dissemination block and aggregated to this postal area, weighted by population.

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.

S0K spans 2 CMHC survey zones — Outlying Areas (43%), West (0%). The figures below are averaged across them, weighted by population.

Only 43% of S0K'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.

Average rent paid in Saskatoon's survey zones covering S0K (CMHC, October 2025), against average asking rent across Saskatoon (Statistics Canada, January 2026). The two are measured differently and are not comparable line by line.
Unit	Being paid (CMHC)	Reliability	Being asked (StatCan)
Studio	$1,155	excellent (a)	$1,100
1 bedroom	$1,487	excellent (a)	$1,370
2 bedrooms	$1,722	excellent (a)	$1,630
3+ bedrooms	$1,732	excellent (a)	$1,960

Reliability is CMHC’s own code for how much the sample supports the figure, from excellent to use with caution. Where several zones cover S0K, the weakest of their codes is shown.

57% of S0K's residents live outside any CMHC survey zone and are not represented in the figures tenants pay.
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 Saskatoon

1.88

Low risk · 9:00 AM CST 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.

Measured at Saskatoon, 26 km from S0K. 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 S0K. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

76 facilities within 10 km of S0K reported to the inventory. The 12 that released the most to air are listed; the total below covers all of them.

All 76 facilities within 10 km — including the 64 not listed above — together reported 17,441 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.

These figures describe the whole of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan — a metropolitan area — not S0K. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Only 43% of S0K's residents live inside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The rest are policed by different services, which report their own figures — so this is not a figure for most of this area.

Crime Severity Index, 2025

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan · 32% higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 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	Saskatoon, Saskatchewan	Canada	Compared
Crime Severity Index	98.9	75.0	32% higher than Canada
Violent Crime Severity Index	130.6	97.2	34% higher than Canada
Non-violent Crime Severity Index	87.0	66.8	30% higher than Canada
Weighted clearance rate	39.4%	36.6%	2.8 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 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was lower than in 2011 — 98.9 against 114.8. 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.
