Achievements
Published residential mill-rate context for Lloydminster.
Major municipal park for community events across seasons. When Lloydminster hosts outdoors, this name travels first.
Municipal pool facility on the recreation menu beside Cenovus Energy Hub and Servus Sports Centre. Indoor water has a proper civic name.

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.
Safety · OpenStats
Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Lloydminster without copying a province, CMA, or another city. The safety pillar scores at median standing (50%) on City Score, the same rule used for other missing pillars.
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by household-weighted maximum advertised download (Mbps) from ISED National Broadband Data hex ISP rows, with hex-to-city assignment by population-weighted gravity. The headline 2025 score is the dwelling-weighted mean of per-hex technology ceilings (fibre and cable at 1 Gbps, DSL lower). Household-weighted 50/10 availability (%) is stored on atlas rows as avail_5010_pct. Earlier panel years backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber and availability paths.

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). Crime severity uses StatCan police-service CSI only (Tables 35-10-0026-01 and 35-10-0063-01); cities without a police-service match take median standing on the safety pillar. Growth uses StatCan CSD estimates; construction uses verified municipal building-permit value per resident (population field on each city record, 2021 Census vintage); 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.
