Is Anniedale a good place to live?
The picture is mixed. Where it falls short is cost of living (D−). Anniedale’s overall grade of C+ puts it better than 41% of Canadian towns, #123 of 250 in British Columbia. Crime runs high (C−). Health outcomes beat most towns (A). Schools are another plus (A−). Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for jobs & income and B for hazard risk.
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.
