Is Norquay Village a good place to live?

The weak point is cost of living (D−). Jobs & income is weaker too (C−). On health it is strong (A+). Overall, that makes a C, good for #152 of 250 in British Columbia. That leaves it better than 32% of Canadian towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B for schools 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.
