V0X vs V2P

British Columbia

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 V0X and V2P, 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	V0X	V2P	Canada	Difference
Median household income	$66,000	$68,500	$84,000	V0X is about the same as V2P
Median after-tax income	$61,200	$62,400	$73,000	V0X is about the same as V2P
Median age	53.6	41.2	41.6	V0X is 30% higher than V2P
Unemployment rate	9.7%	7.7%	10.3%	V0X is 26% higher than V2P
Low income (LIM-AT)	14.7%	13.8%	11.1%	V0X is 7% higher than V2P
Average household size	2.2	2.4	2.4	V0X is 8% lower than V2P

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

Private dwellings	11,756	16,842
Land area	10,636 km²	90 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	V0X	V2P
Grocery store	1 km walk	29%	70%
Public transit	1 km walk	27%	87%
Park	1 km walk	49%	92%
Pharmacy	1 km walk	12%	32%
Child care	1.5 km walk	37%	92%
Primary school	1.5 km walk	13%	87%
Secondary school	1.5 km walk	20%	73%
Library	1.5 km walk	24%	30%
Health care	3 km drive	73%	100%
Employment	10 km drive	97%	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.

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.

V0X: The nearest Air Quality Health Index location is Eastern Fraser Valley, 77 km from V0X. 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.
V2P: Measured at Eastern Fraser Valley, 0.3 km from V2P. 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.
