T0A vs T0B

Alberta

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 T0A and T0B, 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.

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.
Measure	T0A	T0B
Population	57,940	63,070
Private dwellings	27,641	28,586
Land area	36,759 km²	30,127 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	T0A	T0B
Grocery store	1 km walk	25%	22%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	0%
Park	1 km walk	34%	23%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	14%	11%
Child care	1.5 km walk	26%	16%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	22%	18%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	24%	13%
Library	1.5 km walk	26%	22%
Health care	3 km drive	36%	26%
Employment	10 km drive	72%	71%

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	T0A	T0B
Studio	not published	not published
1 bedroom	$1,147	$1,147
2 bedrooms	$1,487	$1,487
3+ bedrooms	not published	not published

Only 21% of T0A's residents live inside a CMHC survey zone. These figures describe those zones — they are not a rent for the rest of this area, which CMHC does not survey.

Only 6% of T0B's residents live inside a CMHC survey zone. These figures describe those zones — they are not a rent for the rest of this area, which CMHC does not survey.

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.

T0A: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Lamont County, 76 km from T0A. 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.
T0B: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Lamont County, 91 km from T0B. 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.
