G7G vs G7P

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 G7G and G7P, 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	G7G	G7P	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$76,000	$82,000	$84,000	G7G is 7% lower than G7P
Median after-tax income	$66,000	$70,000	$73,000	G7G is 6% lower than G7P
Median age	44	42.4	41.6	G7G is about the same as G7P
Unemployment rate	4.7%	4.1%	10.3%	G7G is 15% higher than G7P
Low income (LIM-AT)	8.7%	8%	11.1%	G7G is 9% higher than G7P
Average household size	2.3	2.4	2.4	G7G is about the same as G7P

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	G7G	G7P
Median household income	9% higher than Saguenay	13% higher than Quebec
Median after-tax income	8% higher than Saguenay	11% higher than Quebec
Median age	about the same as Saguenay	about the same as Quebec
Unemployment rate	16% lower than Saguenay	46% lower than Quebec

Average household size	10% higher than Saguenay	9% higher than Quebec

G7G is measured against Saguenay, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.
G7P is measured against Quebec: the nearest metropolitan area, Saguenay, holds 47% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.

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

Private dwellings	7,383	3,278
Land area	33 km²	229 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	G7G	G7P
Grocery store	1 km walk	69%	60%
Public transit	1 km walk	99%	88%
Park	1 km walk	78%	71%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	24%	28%
Child care	1.5 km walk	99%	71%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	74%	40%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	20%	0%
Library	1.5 km walk	0%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	100%	87%
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 G7G or G7P. 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.

G7G: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 182 km from G7G. 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.
G7P: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 190 km from G7P. 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.
