Is Lorette a good place to live?

Strong in places, weak in others. Its best grade is for hazard risk (A−). Few people walk, cycle or take the bus to work (C). Residents’ health trails most towns (C+). The typical owner put their home at $372,000 in 2021: 3.4 years of the median household’s income. Put together, the subjects come to a B− overall, ranking #57 of 181 in Manitoba. On that grade it does better than just over half of Canadian towns. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for safety and B for jobs & income.

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. 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.
