Find your town in Yukon
Its places hold 40,500 people, on Statistics Canada’s July estimate. Whitehorse alone holds 84% of the population. No city here reaches 250,000, so every place is a page of its own, Whitehorse included. No reserve of 1,000 people or more has a page of its own here. At the top here stands Whitehorse, #2,059 among 2,556 in the country. The latest estimate has it 19.3% above the 2021 census count.
What Yukon is like
Too few towns in Yukon have an overall grade for a ranking, so this reads all 5 that have subject grades (1,000 residents or more). Against towns across Canada, their middle town is strongest on jobs & income and walkability, weakest on safety.
0 of 1 (0%) grade A− or better, against 22% of Canadian towns.

Questions about Yukon
How does Yukon compare with the other provinces and territories?
On its report card, which sets figures for the whole province beside how its towns grade, Yukon comes 4th of 13 overall (A−). It does best on jobs & income and worst on hazard risk.
Is every town in Yukon on TownRatings?
Yes: every one has its page, listed here from the biggest town to the smallest place; size decides only how many grades a page carries.
Why isn’t my town ranked?
A province ranks its towns once five or more have an overall grade; Yukon has fewer, so its towns stand in national order. Dawson, Macpherson-Grizzly Valley, Yukon, Unorganized and Watson Lake have no overall grade; their pages show the grades they have, and why.
