Where it does best is hazard risk (A+). Most journeys need a car (D−). Incomes are on the low side (C).

Alexander 134 is a First Nations reserve, so it has no overall grade and no place in ranked lists: Statistics Canada suppresses or doesn’t collect much of a reserve’s data, and its grades couldn’t be set fairly beside other towns’.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. No Safety Grade: no police service publishes a crime rate for this place on its own. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread. A First Nations reserve: subject grades only, with no overall grade and no place in ranked lists.
