Is Haysboro a good place to live?

A good place to live, if you can afford it. Haysboro’s overall grade of B+ puts it better than 69% of Canadian towns, #154 of 473 in Alberta. Its standout strength is health (A+). Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A+). What holds it back is cost of living (D−). The rest of its grades are middling: B− for safety and B− for jobs & income.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: this is the whole city's figure, because the city doesn't publish open neighbourhood crime rates. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
