Is Glenwood a good place to live?

Where it falls short is safety (D). With a B− overall, Glenwood is better than 46% of Canadian towns. In the ranking it comes #73 of 181 in Manitoba. Its best grade is for walkability (A). Jobs & income is a strength too (A−). At $300,000, the median home value in 2021 came to 3.5 times local household 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: 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.
