G0M vs G5Y

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 G0M and G5Y, 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.

Average household size	2.3	2	2.4	G0M is 15% higher than G5Y

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.

Median after-tax income	6% lower than Quebec	9% lower than Saint-Georges
Median age	about the same as Quebec	7% higher than Saint-Georges

Low income (LIM-AT)	about the same as Quebec	19% higher than Saint-Georges
Average household size	about the same as Quebec	about the same as Saint-Georges

G0M is measured against Quebec: the nearest metropolitan area, Saint-Georges, holds 5% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.
G5Y is measured against Saint-Georges, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.
Measure	G0M	G5Y

Private dwellings	16,844	11,764
Land area	3,127 km²	88 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	G0M	G5Y
Grocery store	1 km walk	47%	80%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	51%	65%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	26%	44%
Child care	1.5 km walk	72%	97%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	62%	68%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	12%	25%
Library	1.5 km walk	0%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	75%	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 G0M or G5Y. 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.

G0M: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 95 km from G0M. 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.
G5Y: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 88 km from G5Y. 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.
