Is Aloha Estates a good place to live?

Aloha Estates’s grades pull in different directions. Health is a strength (A). Overall, Aloha Estates earns a B−: better than 53% of Canadian towns, and #81 of 250 in British Columbia. Walkability is a strength too (A). Homes are dear (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.
