Graded on its page: Safety C+, Health D, Jobs & income D−, Walkability B−, Hazard risk B+ Next door Provinces and territories next to Manitoba The provinces and territories that share a border with it: each one’s places, and how many of its towns have an overall grade.
How do the biggest towns in Manitoba grade? Brandon grades C+ overall, with its best grade in walkability. Next in size, Steinbach grades B−, best in hazard risk.
How are these towns ranked? By the overall grade, which blends seven graded subjects (safety, cost of living, schools, health, jobs & income, walkability and hazard risk) from public data, each comparing a town with every town in Canada of 1,000 or more. The rank is among the towns of 2,500 or more in Manitoba, where five or more have an overall grade.
How does Manitoba compare with the other provinces and territories? On its report card, which sets figures for the whole province beside how its towns grade, Manitoba comes 5th of 13 overall (B+). It does best on jobs & income and worst on hazard risk.
Is every town in Manitoba on TownRatings? Yes: every one has its page, listed here from the biggest town to the smallest place; size decides only how many grades a page carries.
Why isn’t my town ranked? The ranking covers towns of 2,500 or more with an overall grade. Wallace-Woodworth, Cornwallis, North Cypress-Langford, Sandy Bay 5 and 99 more have no overall grade; their pages show the grades they have, and why.
