Is Cloverdale a good place to live?

Buying in is costly (D−). Safety is weaker too (C−). Its strongest subject is health (A). Walkability is a strength too (A−). The overall grade lands at C−, better than 23% of Canadian towns. It ranks #182 of 250 in British Columbia. 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.
