G7P vs G7S

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 G7P and G7S, 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	G7P	G7S	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$82,000	$82,000	$84,000	G7P is about the same as G7S
Median after-tax income	$70,000	$69,500	$73,000	G7P is about the same as G7S
Median age	42.4	45.2	41.6	G7P is 6% lower than G7S
Unemployment rate	4.1%	4.3%	10.3%	G7P is about the same as G7S
Low income (LIM-AT)	8%	6.9%	11.1%	G7P is 16% higher than G7S
Average household size	2.4	2.2	2.4	G7P is 9% higher than G7S

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

Private dwellings	3,278	8,818
Land area	229 km²	36 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	G7P	G7S
Grocery store	1 km walk	60%	84%
Public transit	1 km walk	88%	100%
Park	1 km walk	71%	90%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	28%	27%
Child care	1.5 km walk	71%	100%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	40%	61%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	0%	46%
Library	1.5 km walk	0%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	87%	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.

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.

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.
G7S: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Quebec, 178 km from G7S. 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.
