Latest owned placements: indoor radon rank #85 of 327 at 119 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

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.
Safety · OpenStats
Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Weyburn 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.
