OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Lloydminster.
City Score #167 (2022) → #116 (2025)
Lloydminster sits at City Score rank #116 with a standing of 46%, from 7 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. Rising 51 places versus 2022 (#167 → #116).
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #164 of 172 (2025); residential mill rate rank #101 of 172 (10.07 mill rate). Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

Where Lloydminster sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Lloydminster is Discover Lloydminster's Border City, billed as Canada's only border city spanning Saskatchewan and Alberta. City news releases still dateline Lloydminster, AB/SK, which is how residents hear their dual address in ordinary civic speech. The meridians are not a trivia night gag; they are the first sentence of how the place explains itself to visitors, to shippers, and to itself when a form asks for province and nobody wants an argument at the counter.
Parks and facilities carry the weekly calendar. Bud Miller All Seasons Park hosts community events like Wheels at Work and other summer programs that need lawn and parking. Weaver Heritage Park is the Heritage Day address when the civic holiday lands in early August and families map the afternoon by picnic tables. Bioclean Aquatic Centre, Cenovus Energy Hub, and Servus Sports Centre round out the indoor recreation map, so winter does not depend on one lonely rink name shared across two provinces' kids.
OpenStats has no composite City Score rank for Lloydminster in the current datapack. The hometown portrait does not wait for one. It is AB/SK dual life spoken without apology, Border City tourism talk that matches the dateline, Bud Miller summers, Weaver Heritage Day, and a sports-facility list long enough that nobody needs to invent a nickname beyond the border itself. Servus Sports Centre nights and Bioclean swim lessons keep both sides of the border busy after school. Errands may cross a provincial line before lunch, and that is still considered normal conversation. Border City remains the tourism short handle residents already recognize.

City Score from 2016–2025 across eight open-data pillars. Individual study placements are listed in the panels below.
Each study below is its own ranking. Where a study has more than one edition for this city, the chart shows standing across those years only.

OpenStats
Cities with an Alberta Junior Hockey League club in the OpenStats seed list ranked by regular-season points percentage. Rank 1 = highest points %. Source: Wikipedia AJHL season standings. Clubs in towns outside the seed list are omitted.
2 editions · 2024–2025
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.

Construction · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.

Composite · OpenStats
OpenStats
Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016–2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0–1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, mill rates, and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.

Safety · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index (Table 35-10-0026-01). Rank 1 is highest CSI (worse). Values are CMA where a metro match exists, otherwise provincial CSI. Hometown pages label the grain.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by municipal drinking-water hardness (mg/L as CaCO₃). Hardness changes slowly; the atlas vintage is carried across panel years and flagged when static for more than two years.

Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by reported lead (µg/L) on the OpenStats water atlas. Carried across panel years until annual municipal report panels are ingested.

sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by weighted count of documented local teams (pro, junior, university, high-school hubs). Rank 1 = deepest documented sports footprint among covered seed cities. Not a claim about on-field success. See sports methodology for weights and gaps.

Growth · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by year-over-year population growth from Statistics Canada annual CSD estimates (Table 17-10-0155-01). Rank 1 is fastest growth. A few places without a clean CSD match use a provincial-path estimate anchored to seed population.

Property tax · OpenStats
OpenStats
Municipalities ranked by residential mill rate. Rank 1 is the highest rate. Published municipal years are used when available; gaps are interpolated or follow the provincial median path so the tax pillar moves year to year for every city.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Hazards · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by NRCan peak ground acceleration (higher = stronger shaking hazard). Rank 1 is highest PGA. The seismic model is multi-year; values are carried across the City Score panel and flagged as static until NRCan publishes a new generation.
