RedstoneCalgary
Calgary is split into 152 neighbourhoods, and this is one. This neighbourhood in Calgary has a population of 13,230.
Is Redstone a good place to live?
Plenty in its favour, and one clear drawback. Health outcomes beat most towns (A). Overall, Redstone earns a B: better than 62% of Canadian towns, and #202 of 473 in Alberta. Fewer journeys need a car (B+). Prices are high against local incomes (C−). Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety, B for schools 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.
How Redstone grades
Each subject compares Redstone with Canadian towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far it is from the middle. Towns in other countries are graded separately.
