Stonebridge earns A+ for jobs and income
Better than 98% of Canadian towns on three measures together, #17 of 104 in Saskatchewan.
Its strongest measure is household income; its weakest, the share of 15-to-64s in work.
Graded against Canadian towns of 2,500 people or more; less unemployment and a shorter commute count in its favour.
How the grade works
Census 2021 measures, weighed equally against every Canadian town and neighbourhood of 2,500 people or more: the share of residents aged 15 to 64 in work, median household income (2020), the unemployment rate and the average commute. Each becomes a percentile; their average sets the letter.
Who in Stonebridge has a job
Of the 46 other places of 2,500 people or more in Census Division No. 11, 38 have a smaller share of 15-to-64s in work.
A more recent figure, for the wider area: 65% in work in October 2026, by the Labour Force Survey. Counting those looking for work too, 78% of people aged 15 and over were in the labour force. Census day was 11 May 2021, in the pandemic’s third wave: unemployment ran high and many worked from home, so these figures describe that spring rather than today.

Stonebridge households: $100,500 a year at the median
Of the 46 other places of 2,500 or more in Census Division No. 11, 14 have a higher median. Against the middle of Saskatchewan’s towns ($86,800), Stonebridge’s median is 16% above. Because 2020 was the first year of the pandemic, emergency benefits make up part of these before-tax incomes.

What this data can and can’t tell you
What each figure measures for Stonebridge, where it comes from, and what it leaves out.
- Unemployment. The share of people 15 and over in the labour force, working or looking for work, who had no job on census day in May 2021.
- Household income. The census median total income of households in 2020, before tax; a neighbourhood’s is estimated from its dissemination areas’ income groups.
- Trip times. The census asks how long the trip to work usually takes, in bands; our average uses each band’s middle, so it runs a little above Statistics Canada’s timed average.
- Employment Insurance. Monthly EI recipients across the census division: a pulse of the local job market rather than a measure of who is out of work.
- The Labour Force Survey. Sampled each month and released for regions rather than towns, so its rate describes the area around the town.
- In work. Everyone with a job, whatever their age, divided by the residents aged 15 to 64 at the 2021 Census: below the municipality the census doesn’t split work by age, and this is the one rate every town and neighbourhood can be given.
- Which towns we compare. Medians over towns and neighbourhoods of at least 2,500 residents. Whole cities would swamp them and reserves sit outside the rankings, so neither is in.
- Neighbourhood figures. Stonebridge’s census figures are summed from its dissemination areas. Commuting flows and Statistics Canada’s timed averages are published only for the whole municipality, so they are on Saskatoon’s page.
