Is Boyle Street a good place to live?

A town of contrasts. Incomes are on the low side (D−). Prices are high against local incomes (D). Getting around on foot or by bus is easy (A+). Add health to its strengths (B+). The overall grade comes out at C, #375 of 473 in Alberta. It comes out better than 27% of Canadian towns.

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.
