Is Brockville a good place to live?
The data are hard on it. Its weakest is cost of living (D). It lags on safety as well (D). Health is where it shines (B+). Fewer journeys need a car (B+). All told, that adds up to a C− overall and a rank of #157 of 181 in Manitoba. Nationally, it does better than 16% of Canadian towns.
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. 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.
