T0B vs T5Y
Alberta
Read this first
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.

Getting around

- 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.
Rent
| Unit | T0B | T5Y |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | not published | not published |
| 1 bedroom | $1,147 | $1,195 |
| 2 bedrooms | $1,487 | $1,467 |

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.

- 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.
- T5Y: Measured at Edmonton, 11 km from T5Y. The index runs from 1 upward and combines ozone, fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide into one health-risk scale.
