H1G vs H7N

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 H1G and H7N, 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	H1G	H7N	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$57,200	$65,000	$84,000	H1G is 12% lower than H7N
Median after-tax income	$51,600	$57,200	$73,000	H1G is 10% lower than H7N
Median age	40.8	40.4	41.6	H1G is about the same as H7N
Unemployment rate	12%	9.6%	10.3%	H1G is 25% higher than H7N
Low income (LIM-AT)	20.2%	13.6%	11.1%	H1G is 49% higher than H7N
Average household size	2.4	2.1	2.4	H1G is 14% higher than H7N

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.
Measure	H1G	H7N
Population	50,989	44,641
Private dwellings	21,276	21,408
Land area	7.8 km²	8.3 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	H1G	H7N
Grocery store	1 km walk	99%	96%
Public transit	1 km walk	100%	100%
Park	1 km walk	98%	95%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	92%	80%
Child care	1.5 km walk	100%	100%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	95%	82%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	83%	36%
Library	1.5 km walk	88%	35%
Health care	3 km drive	100%	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.
Unit	H1G	H7N
Studio	$801	$1,028
1 bedroom	$1,049	$1,257
2 bedrooms	$1,127	$1,192
3+ bedrooms	$1,629	$1,368

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.

H1G: Montréal, 11 km away, is the nearest Air Quality Health Index location, but no current reading could be retrieved from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
H7N: Montréal, 6.5 km away, is the nearest Air Quality Health Index location, but no current reading could be retrieved from Environment and Climate Change 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.
