Is Luxton a good place to live?
Real strengths, and real weak spots. Where it falls short is safety (D). Luxton’s overall grade of C puts it better than just over a quarter of Canadian towns, #126 of 181 in Manitoba. Work and incomes lag (C−). Fewer journeys need a car (A+).
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.
