Is Radisson a good place to live?
Radisson’s overall C+ puts it #89 of 181 in Manitoba. Set against the rest, it does better than two fifths of Canadian towns. The weak point is safety (D). Buying in is costly (C+). Health is a strength (B+). Households here earn well (B+).
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.
