OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Weyburn.
Weyburn sits at City Score rank #170 with a standing of 33%, from 8 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. The chart below shows how that standing moves year to year.
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #169 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #3 of 117 at 302 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #103 of 172 (9.86 mill rate). Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

Where Weyburn sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Weyburn brands itself the Opportunity City on the municipal logo and on economic development pages that place it in the heart of southeast Saskatchewan. The Souris River meanders through town, and beside it runs Tatagwa Parkway: 180 acres of urban conservation land, 8.5 kilometres of walking and biking trail, planted trees by the tens of thousands, and interpretive signs for native plants. Tatagwa Tree Day turns that landscape into a volunteer calendar item, which is a very Weyburn way to spend a Saturday with gloves on and neighbours within shouting distance.
Street talk lately has meant Railway Avenue closures and related detours on 16th and 18th, the sort of construction season that Discover Weyburn and the city newsroom cover in the same breath. Recreation booking runs through xplor for arts, aquatic, and sports programs, while the Weyburn Leisure Centre pool project keeps generating community updates about a future indoor swim that residents already argue about at coffee. Agriculture, resources, and manufacturing sit in the Opportunity City economic story without pretending the town is a capital suburb or a quiet highway afterthought.
Local media names matter here. The city homepage surfaces Discover Weyburn and Weyburn Review stories beside its own notices, so humane-society fundraisers and youth-centre volunteer asks feel like civic weather. Urban forestry surveys show up in the same practical tone as pool-project explainers. The durable hometown image is Tatagwa trails on the Souris, Railway Avenue work zones, and a southeast Saskatchewan desk that still says Opportunity City without irony.

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.
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Health · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Health Canada survey mean indoor radon (Bq/m³). Rank 1 is the highest mean. Decade panel years without a new survey carry the CMA survey vintage forward; they are not annual retests.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
Single edition · 2025
Only one published edition places Weyburn in this study so far. Open the edition for method notes and the full table.
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.

Cities with a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League club in the OpenStats seed list ranked by regular-season points percentage. Rank 1 = highest points %. Source: Wikipedia SJHL season standings. Clubs in towns outside the seed list are omitted.
