Is King Edward a good place to live?

Crime runs high (D). King Edward ranks #99 of 181 in Manitoba, with a C+ overall. That leaves it better than 38% of Canadian towns. Fewer journeys need a car (A+). A median home here was worth $250,000 at the census, or 3.3 times what the middle household earns in a year. Health is a strength (B+).

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.
