N6C vs N6G

Ontario

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 N6C and N6G, 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	N6C	N6G	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$75,500	$96,000	$84,000	N6C is 21% lower than N6G
Median after-tax income	$66,500	$85,000	$73,000	N6C is 22% lower than N6G
Median age	41.6	36.4	41.6	N6C is 14% higher than N6G
Unemployment rate	12.4%	12.7%	10.3%	N6C is about the same as N6G
Low income (LIM-AT)	11%	12.2%	11.1%	N6C is 10% lower than N6G
Average household size	2.1	2.7	2.4	N6C is 22% lower than N6G

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	N6C	N6G
Median household income	5% lower than London	21% higher than London
Median after-tax income	6% lower than London	20% higher than London
Median age	about the same as London	9% lower than London
Unemployment rate	about the same as London	about the same as London
Low income (LIM-AT)	11% lower than London	about the same as London
Average household size	12% lower than London	13% higher than London

N6C is measured against London, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.
N6G is measured against London, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.

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

Private dwellings	14,812	20,315
Land area	13 km²	48 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	N6C	N6G
Grocery store	1 km walk	86%	83%
Public transit	1 km walk	100%	94%
Park	1 km walk	95%	92%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	67%	61%
Child care	1.5 km walk	100%	99%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	90%	58%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	90%	68%
Library	1.5 km walk	27%	21%
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.

2 bedrooms	$1,581	$1,840

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.

N6C: Measured at London, 1.2 km from N6C. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.
N6G: Measured at London, 7.8 km from N6G. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.

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.
