OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Woodstock.
Woodstock sits at City Score rank #80 with a standing of 51%, 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 #65 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #64 of 117 at 111 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #6 of 172 (18.21 mill rate). Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

Where Woodstock sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Woodstock’s everyday map still runs along Dundas Street, where City Hall mail goes to 500 Dundas and the Woodstock Museum occupies the Old Town Hall a few blocks away. Recreation copy keeps pointing people to Southside Park as the featured municipal greenspace among more than fifty neighbourhood parks, with a toboggan hill that makes winter directions easy. Chuck Armstrong Memorial Park and other named playground parks fill the neighbourhood gaps. Cowan Sportsplex covers the indoor sports side, and Woodstock Transit keeps a local bus brand on the homepage beside the usual tax and waste service notes.
Summer brings its own proper nouns. Cowapolooza and the Woodstock Fair sit on the city events calendar, while Woodstock 125 keeps anniversary history in the civic conversation. City news also sends people out to Pittock Conservation Area for a redeveloped disc golf course, a reminder that recreation talk here spills just past the municipal park list. The Woodstock Art Gallery and What’s on Woodstock magazine round out the culture desk without needing a tourist brochure voice.
Press is thin compared with bigger Ontario desks, so the hometown read leans on municipal names that locals already use: Southside Park for family afternoons, Old Town Hall for the museum, and Fair week when August arrives. Splash pads and trail pages keep the same practical tone as transit alerts. On the OpenStats City Score for 2026, Woodstock sits at rank 82 of 125. Rankings do not change the street-level habit of meeting on Dundas and measuring green space from Southside out.

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 Woodstock 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.
