S0J vs S6V

Saskatchewan

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 S0J and S6V, 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.

Median age	36.8	36	41.6	S0J is about the same as S6V

Low income (LIM-AT)	23.5%	16.2%	11.1%	S0J is 45% higher than S6V
Average household size	2.8	2.5	2.4	S0J is 12% higher than S6V

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.

S0J is measured against Saskatchewan: the nearest metropolitan area, Prince Albert, holds 1% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.
S6V is measured against Prince Albert, the metropolitan area holding 98% of its residents.

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

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	S0J	S6V
Grocery store	1 km walk	8%	75%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	24%	76%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	4%	41%
Child care	1.5 km walk	6%	81%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	21%	54%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	51%	78%
Library	1.5 km walk	4%	0%
Health care	3 km drive	16%	84%
Employment	10 km drive	39%	92%

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 S0J or S6V. 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.

S0J: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Prince Albert, 116 km from S0J. 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.
S6V: Prince Albert, 3.0 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.
