Reserves such as Tsinstikeptum 9 stay out of the grades and the ranked lists. Statistics Canada publishes too little of their data, and what it does publish can’t be weighed fairly against 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. Wildfire lowers this town's Hazard risk Grade: a high share of the land around it has burned in the last 40 years. A First Nations reserve: subject grades only, with no overall grade and no place in ranked lists.
