G0L vs G5R

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 G0L and G5R, 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	G0L	G5R	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$63,200	$62,800	$84,000	G0L is about the same as G5R
Median after-tax income	$56,000	$54,800	$73,000	G0L is about the same as G5R
Median age	51.2	48.4	41.6	G0L is 6% higher than G5R
Unemployment rate	6.8%	7%	10.3%	G0L is about the same as G5R
Low income (LIM-AT)	13.6%	12.7%	11.1%	G0L is 7% higher than G5R
Average household size	2.1	2	2.4	G0L is 5% higher than G5R

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.

G0L is measured against Quebec: the nearest metropolitan area, Rivière-du-Loup, holds 16% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.
G5R is measured against Rivière-du-Loup, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.

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

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	G0L	G5R
Grocery store	1 km walk	56%	70%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	64%	78%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	27%	45%
Child care	1.5 km walk	72%	95%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	58%	71%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	34%	32%
Library	1.5 km walk	9%	19%
Health care	3 km drive	69%	100%
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 G0L or G5R. 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.

G0L: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Edmundston, 87 km from G0L. 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.
G5R: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Edmundston, 106 km from G5R. 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.
