Is Daly Grove a good place to live?
Real strengths, and real weak spots. Its weakest is safety (C−). A median home here was worth $344,000 at the census, or 3.6 times what the middle household earns in a year. Floods and other hazards weigh less here (A+). Overall, that makes a C+, good for #303 of 473 in Alberta. Nationally, it does better than just over two fifths of Canadian towns.
Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021.
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.
