T0L vs T1J

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 T0L and T1J, 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	T0L	T1J	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$84,000	$81,000	$84,000	T0L is about the same as T1J
Median after-tax income	$74,500	$71,500	$73,000	T0L is about the same as T1J
Median age	43.6	35.6	41.6	T0L is 22% higher than T1J
Unemployment rate	8.9%	8.8%	10.3%	T0L is about the same as T1J
Low income (LIM-AT)	11.6%	10.3%	11.1%	T0L is 13% higher than T1J
Average household size	2.5	2.3	2.4	T0L is 9% higher than T1J

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.

T0L is measured against Alberta: the nearest metropolitan area, Lethbridge, holds 12% of its residents, which is too little for it to describe this area.
T1J is measured against Lethbridge, the metropolitan area holding 100% of its residents.

Counts for each area. These describe the place and are not compared as ratios.
Measure	T0L	T1J

Private dwellings	21,062	11,692
Land area	28,135 km²	340 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	T0L	T1J
Grocery store	1 km walk	31%	57%
Public transit	1 km walk	0%	69%
Park	1 km walk	44%	87%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	19%	35%
Child care	1.5 km walk	34%	89%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	27%	57%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	21%	44%
Library	1.5 km walk	28%	27%
Health care	3 km drive	55%	95%
Employment	10 km drive	79%	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	T0L	T1J
Studio	not published	not surveyed
1 bedroom	$1,470	not surveyed
2 bedrooms	$1,805	not surveyed
3+ bedrooms	$2,014	not surveyed

CMHC does not survey a rental zone covering T1J, so only T0L has a figure. The column is empty because the survey does not reach that area, not because rents there are lower.

Only 4% of T0L'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.

T0L: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Lethbridge, 86 km from T0L. 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.
T1J: Measured at Lethbridge, 1.5 km from T1J. 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.
