Asset-rich rather than income-rich, with a median age of 51, no hospital of its own, and a council the Province has started overruling on housing. The case both ways.
Richmond recorded 56.8 Criminal Code offences per 1,000 residents in 2024, sixth of thirteen Metro Vancouver municipalities. The airport question, the Canada Line evidence, and the denominator error behind every higher figure.
Five SkyTrain stations and no transfer to downtown, a Level One trauma centre, the largest college in the province, and a city that still exports most of its workers.
Downtown to Queensborough, area by area, with the planning status, the schools, the rail crossings and the three official neighbourhood lists that do not agree with each other.
The lowest composite benchmark of any area the board reports, the region’s most apartment-heavy housing stock, and an electricity bill that does not come from BC Hydro.
New Westminster recorded 60.8 Criminal Code offences per 1,000 residents in 2024, almost exactly Vancouver’s number. Its own police force, a decade of data, and the arithmetic error behind every higher figure you will see.
Four SkyTrain stations, a school district that beats the province, and a regional plan that does not project the Tri-Cities ever becoming a place where people work.
City Centre to Burke Mountain, area by area, with the planning status, the transit reality and the reason no honest guide can give you a neighbourhood price.
Prices, rent, property tax, utilities and the commute for Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, including the rent figure that does not exist and the tax gap that collapses on the same house.
Coquitlam recorded 43.2 offences per 1,000 residents in 2024, Port Coquitlam 44.0 and Port Moody 29.2. Three police services, a decade of data, and the 2019 counting change nobody mentions.
