Is Lynnwood a good place to live?

Some subjects shine; others lag. Schools are where it shines (A). With a B overall, Lynnwood sits #227 of 473 in Alberta. Nationally, it does better than 56% of Canadian towns. It is strong on walkability as well (A+). Housing is expensive (D).

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.

The data

Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Lynnwood.

Natural hazardsHazard risk A⁺

Lynnwood earns an A+ for hazard risk

In Health Canada’s survey, just 1.4% of homes tested in the area exceeded 200 Bq/m³ (6.6% typical). Government of Alberta has mapped the flood hazard here: one study on the national inventory. Shaking is less of a worry than in most places, at $0.013 a year per $1,000 of building value ($0.030 typical). Nobody publishes earthquake risk for Lynnwood alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Edmonton.
