LauderdaleEdmonton
Some 2,954 people live in this neighbourhood, in Edmonton. Edmonton is split into 195 neighbourhoods, and this is one.
Is Lauderdale a good place to live?
The weak point is cost of living (C−). It also trails on schools (C−). Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A). Put together, the subjects come to a D overall, ranking #438 of 473 in Alberta. On that grade it does better than just over a tenth 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.
How Lauderdale grades
Each subject compares Lauderdale with Canadian towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far it is from the middle. Towns in other countries are graded separately.
