Do these figures describe a specific address in Y0A?

No. Y0A 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 Yukon rather than for Y0A?

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 Y0A means Yukon. 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 Y0A?

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.

Y0A

Yukon — a rural forward sortation area

Y0A had a population of 1,657 in the 2021 Census in Yukon, outside any census metropolitan area. Its population density makes it a sparsely populated area.

There were 1,023 private dwellings across 158,267 km².

Median household income was 13% lower than the national figure.

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

The median age was 13% higher than the national figure.

The unemployment rate was 25% higher than the national figure.

The share of people in low income (LIM-AT) was 26% higher than the national figure.

Average household size was 12% 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.

No city comparison. Y0A is not inside a census metropolitan area or agglomeration, so there is no city to compare it against. Statistics Canada classifies the surrounding area by how strongly it is influenced by a metropolitan centre, which is not a place and is not a useful benchmark. Province and Canada are.

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 Y0A’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.
Y0A 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.

The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Whitehorse, 269 km from Y0A. 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.

Facilities that reported releasing a listed substance to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, within 10 km of Y0A. 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.
Facility	Distance	Substances	Released to air
Watson Lake Power PlantWatson Lake · Electricity	inside this area	4	284 t
Silvertip MineVancouver · Mining and Quarrying	8.0 km	11	215 t
Faro Generating StationFaro · Electricity	4.3 km	4	156 t
Swift RiverSwift River · Electricity	inside this area	2	0.85 t

Together these facilities reported 656 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 Yukon — a province or territory — not Y0A. Police-reported crime is not published for postal areas anywhere in Canada.

Crime Severity Index, 2025

195.4

Yukon · 2.6× higher than the national index of 75.0

Severity indexes for Yukon, 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	Yukon	Canada	Compared
Crime Severity Index	195.4	75.0	2.6× higher than Canada
Violent Crime Severity Index	236.0	97.2	2.4× higher than Canada
Non-violent Crime Severity Index	180.9	66.8	2.7× higher than Canada
Weighted clearance rate	40.7%	36.6%	4 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.
Violations	Yukon	Canada	Compared
All violations	21,426 per 100,000	6,065 per 100,000	3.5× higher than Canada
Criminal Code, excluding traffic	19,234 per 100,000	5,585 per 100,000	3.4× higher than Canada
Violent Criminal Code	4,557 per 100,000	1,443 per 100,000	3.2× higher than Canada
Property crime	9,661 per 100,000	3,141 per 100,000	3.1× higher than Canada

Crime Severity Index for Yukon (solid) against Canada (dashed), 2011 to 2025. In 2025 it was higher than in 2011 — 195.4 against 154.7. 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.

Y0A is not inside a metropolitan area that publishes crime figures, so the comparison is against Yukon 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.
