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

4 points higher than the national share of 70%

Share of S6V’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 S6V’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

What this is:

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of S6V. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

Reported releases to air, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.

These figures describe the whole of Saskatchewan — a province or territory — not S6V. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Crime Severity Index, 2025

Saskatchewan · 95% higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for 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.

Crime Severity Index for Saskatchewan (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was about the same as in 2011 — 146.6 against 143.6. 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.

Common questions

Do these figures describe a specific address in S6V?
No. S6V 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 Saskatchewan rather than for S6V?
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 S6V means 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 S6V?
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.
