Is Flin Flon (Part) a good place to live?

Easy on the wallet, harder on other counts. With a B− overall, Flin Flon (Part) is better than 46% of Canadian towns and ranks #75 of 181 in Manitoba. Where it falls short is hazard risk (D−). Also worth knowing: its best grade is for cost of living (A+). Getting around on foot or by bus is easy (A). Safety is weaker too (D−). Residents’ health trails most towns (D).

This town's rent is the 2021 census rent scaled to 2025 by its province's ratio of surveyed to census rents: no rental survey covers it, so its Cost Grade is less sure. Safety is the police detachment's figure, shared with the towns and countryside around it. No School Grade: this province doesn't publish comparable results school by school. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread. Wildfire lowers this town's Hazard risk Grade: a high share of the land around it has burned in the last 40 years.
