An honest note on Canadian coverage
Canada has no national equivalent of FEMA's National Risk Index, so RiskIndex does not publish a composite hazard grade for Canadian regions — doing so would mean inventing a number the source data cannot support. For Canada we show what exists: crime severity and household income at the province and metro level. See the full St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador profile or all Canadian regions.
