V0X

British Columbia — a rural forward sortation area

In plain English

V0X had a population of 22,683 in the 2021 Census in British Columbia. No census metropolitan area covers most of it. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.

There were 11,756 private dwellings across 10,636 km².

Median household income was 21% lower than the national figure.

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

The median age was 29% higher than the national figure.

The unemployment rate was 6% lower than the national figure.

The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was 32% higher than the national figure.

Average household size was 8% lower 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.

Note:

No city comparison. V0X does touch the Chilliwack census metropolitan area, but only 18% of its residents live inside it. Comparing the whole area against Chilliwack 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.

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

29%

42 points lower than the national share of 70%

Share of V0X’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 V0X’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.

Air quality

nearest station
No local reading:

The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Eastern Fraser Valley, 77 km from V0X. That is far enough to be a different airshed, so its reading is not shown here as though it described this area. The index is published for about 130 communities and zones, not continuously across Canada.

Reporting facilities nearby

What this is:

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of V0X. 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.

Crime

2025 · metropolitan-area figures
Read this first:

These figures describe the whole of Chilliwack, British Columbia — a metropolitan area — not V0X. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Only 18% of V0X's residents live inside Chilliwack, British Columbia. The rest are policed by different services, which report their own figures — so this is not a figure for most of this area.

Chilliwack, British Columbia · 79% higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Chilliwack, British Columbia, 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.

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 V0X?
No. V0X 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 Chilliwack, British Columbia rather than for V0X?
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 V0X means Chilliwack, British Columbia. 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 V0X?
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.
