G0X vs G9C

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 G0X and G9C, 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	G0X	G9C	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$65,000	$97,000	$84,000	G0X is 33% lower than G9C
Median after-tax income	$57,600	$81,000	$73,000	G0X is 29% lower than G9C
Median age	50	40	41.6	G0X is 25% higher than G9C
Unemployment rate	6.7%	7%	10.3%	G0X is about the same as G9C
Low income (LIM-AT)	13.8%	5%	11.1%	G0X is 2.8× higher than G9C
Average household size	2.2	2.4	2.4	G0X is 8% lower than G9C

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

Private dwellings	33,235	1,636
Land area	31,081 km²	18 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	G0X	G9C
Grocery store	1 km walk	45%	70%
Public transit	1 km walk	2%	99%
Park	1 km walk	49%	96%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	12%	28%
Child care	1.5 km walk	63%	99%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	39%	0%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	7%	3%
Library	1.5 km walk	8%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	71%	99%
Employment	10 km drive	99%	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.

What tenants pay, from CMHC’s survey of purpose-built rental buildings. The two areas may sit in different survey zones, or one may not be surveyed at all — that is a coverage fact and is stated rather than left blank.

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.

G0X: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 111 km from G0X. 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.
G9C: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 120 km from G9C. 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.
