G0G vs G4S

Quebec

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 G0G and G4S, 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.
Measure	G0G	G4S	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$93,000	$87,000	$84,000	G0G is 7% higher than G4S
Median after-tax income	$80,000	$74,000	$73,000	G0G is 8% higher than G4S
Median age	43.2	40.8	41.6	G0G is 6% higher than G4S
Unemployment rate	10.1%	3.8%	10.3%	G0G is 2.7× higher than G4S
Low income (LIM-AT)	7.3%	6.8%	11.1%	G0G is 7% higher than G4S
Average household size	2.3	2.3	2.4	G0G is about the same as G4S

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	G0G	G4S
Median household income	28% higher than Quebec	10% higher than Sept-Îles
Median after-tax income	27% higher than Quebec	9% higher than Sept-Îles
Median age	about the same as Quebec	about the same as Sept-Îles
Unemployment rate	33% higher than Quebec	31% lower than Sept-Îles
Low income (LIM-AT)	39% lower than Quebec	35% lower than Sept-Îles
Average household size	about the same as Quebec	about the same as Sept-Îles

G0G is measured against Quebec: the nearest metropolitan area, Sept-Îles, holds 19% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.
G4S is measured against Sept-Îles, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.
Measure	G0G	G4S

Population	16,315	4,931
Private dwellings	8,853	2,266
Land area	127,524 km²	122 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	G0G	G4S
Grocery store	1 km walk	30%	74%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	46%	26%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	17%	13%
Child care	1.5 km walk	62%	94%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	72%	76%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	60%	0%
Library	1.5 km walk	14%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	66%	99%
Employment	10 km drive	95%	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 G0G or G4S. 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.

G0G: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Labrador City, 294 km from G0G. 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.
G4S: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Campbellton, 252 km from G4S. 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.

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.
