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

about the same as the national share of 70%

Share of S7K’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.

30% of S7K’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.

S7K spans 3 CMHC survey zones — North (65%), Central (21%), Outlying Areas (14%). The figures below are averaged across them, weighted by population.

Average rent paid in Saskatoon's survey zones covering S7K (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.
UnitBeing paid (CMHC)ReliabilityBeing asked (StatCan)
Studio$844very good (b)$1,100
1 bedroom$1,294excellent (a)$1,370
2 bedrooms$1,555excellent (a)$1,630
3+ bedrooms$1,716very good (b)$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 S7K, the weakest of their codes is shown.

Reporting facilities nearby

What this is:

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of S7K. Distance is measured from the edge of the postal area, so a facility inside it shows as inside this area.

47 facilities within 10 km of S7K 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 47 within 10 km of S7K, 2024, in tonnes. Quantities are estimated and reported by the facilities themselves.

Common questions

Do these figures describe a specific address in S7K?
No. S7K 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 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan rather than for S7K?
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 S7K 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 S7K?
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.
