Median age

What this map shows

Median age, 2021

The strongest colour is about the top tenth of places with a figure; the fainter ones hold about the next 15%, 20% and 25%, and the faintest about the lowest 30%. Places with the same figure share a colour, so a group can hold a little more or less. Measures that take only a few values, poor-air days and hardiness zones, are grouped by fixed classes instead, marked on the bar at their edges. Places with no figure, or too small a base to rank, are left uncoloured. Lot lines are the province's open parcel map (ParcelMap BC): it shows titled lots and most Crown parcels, and its sizes are mapped, not surveyed.
