It is one of 128 neighbourhoods of Winnipeg. It is a neighbourhood of 2,785 residents in Winnipeg.
Is Mathers a good place to live?
More weak spots than strong ones. Mathers ranks #148 of 181 in Manitoba, with a C− overall. Set against the rest, it does better than a fifth of Canadian towns. Buying in is costly (D). Also worth knowing: its strongest subject is walkability (A+). It lags on safety as well (D).
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.
