E1B vs E4H

New Brunswick

This page does not pick a winner. Every row shows two measurements and the gap between them. There is no score, no tally of which area “wins” more categories, and no overall result — those would be a rating of two places and the people who live in them, assembled by the layout.

Both areas are forward sortation areas, and every figure describes the whole of one. Crime is not shown here: it is reported at the metropolitan level, so for two areas in the same city it is usually the same number twice. It is on each area’s own page, with the geography it describes.

Selected 2021 Census figures for E1B and E4H, with the national figure for scale. The last column states the gap between the two areas as a direction and a size, never as a preference.

Low income (LIM-AT)	8.7%	16.5%	11.1%	E1B is 47% lower than E4H
Average household size	2.4	2.2	2.4	E1B is 9% higher than E4H

How each area sits against the city or province around it — a different geography on each side, named in every cell. Read down a column, not across: the two columns are measured against different places and a bigger gap in one says nothing about the other.
Measure	E1B	E4H
Median household income	7% higher than Moncton	16% lower than Moncton
Median after-tax income	6% higher than Moncton	13% lower than Moncton
Median age	7% higher than Moncton	19% higher than Moncton
Unemployment rate	7% lower than Moncton	2.2× higher than Moncton
Low income (LIM-AT)	30% lower than Moncton	32% higher than Moncton
Average household size	about the same as Moncton	about the same as Moncton

E1B is measured against Moncton, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.
E4H is measured against Moncton, the metropolitan area holding 77% of its residents.

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.

Private dwellings	8,797	2,087
Land area	34 km²	1,017 km²

Share of each area’s residents with an amenity within reach, weighted by where people live. A blank is a coverage fact, not a zero.
Amenity	Within	E1B	E4H
Grocery store	1 km walk	58%	31%
Public transit	1 km walk	94%	0%
Park	1 km walk	86%	40%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	23%	24%
Child care	1.5 km walk	86%	32%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	52%	28%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	26%	22%
Library	1.5 km walk	20%	25%
Health care	3 km drive	100%	52%
Employment	10 km drive	100%	100%

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.

CMHC does not survey a rental zone covering either E1B or E4H. The survey covers centres of 10,000 people and up, so there is nothing published for either area.

The air quality index is a reading at the nearest station, which may be far away — the distance is shown because it decides whether the reading describes the area at all. Facility counts are reported releases within 10 km.
Measure	E1B	E4H
Nearest AQHI station	Moncton · 6.5 km	Moncton · 30 km
Current reading	1 — Low risk	1 — Low risk
Reporting facilities within 10 km	6	0
Reported releases to air	117 t	not reported

E1B: Measured at Moncton, 6.5 km from E1B. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.
E4H: Measured at Moncton, 30 km from E4H. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.
Facilities report to the National Pollutant Release Inventory only above published thresholds, so a count of none means none reported — not that nothing is emitted.

This page carries the figures the two areas can be set against each other on. Each area’s own page has the rest — including crime, the boundary map, and every source note and caveat in full.
