McMillanWinnipeg
Of Winnipeg’s 128 neighbourhoods, this is one. 3,568 residents make their home in this neighbourhood in Winnipeg.
Is McMillan a good place to live?
Cost of living is its weak spot (D). Crime runs high (D). Also worth knowing: fewer journeys need a car (A+). The overall grade comes out at C, #116 of 181 in Manitoba. Nationally, it does better than 30% 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.
