Nelson

1 postal areas in British Columbia

Every forward sortation area whose residents mostly live inside the Nelson census metropolitan area. Each one has its own profile with census figures, crime, rent, amenity access and air quality.

These areas do not tile the city. A postal area is listed here when more of its residents live inside Nelson than in any other metropolitan area — so the city extends beyond some of them, and parts of some of them fall outside it. There is no combined figure on this page for that reason; the numbers live on the area pages, where each one carries the geography it describes.
