MidnaporeCalgary
It is one of the 152 neighbourhoods that make up Calgary. 7,022 people live in this neighbourhood in Calgary.
Is Midnapore a good place to live?
Plenty to like here, at a price. Health is its strong suit (A+). School results are strong (A). The catch is cost of living (D). All told, that adds up to an A− overall and a rank of #116 of 473 in Alberta. Set against the rest, it does better than 75% of Canadian towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: 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.
