Questions about New Brunswick How do the biggest towns in New Brunswick grade? Moncton grades C− overall, with its best grade in walkability. Next in size, Saint John grades C−, best in walkability.
How are these towns ranked? By the overall grade, which blends seven graded subjects (safety, cost of living, schools, health, jobs & income, walkability and hazard risk) from public data, each comparing a town with every town in Canada of 1,000 or more. The rank is among the towns of 2,500 or more in New Brunswick, where five or more have an overall grade.
How does New Brunswick compare with the other provinces and territories? On its report card, which sets figures for the whole province beside how its towns grade, New Brunswick comes 9th of 13 overall (C). It does best on cost of living and worst on hazard risk.
Is every town in New Brunswick on TownRatings? Yes: every one has its page, listed here from the biggest town to the smallest place; size decides only how many grades a page carries.
Why isn’t my town ranked? The ranking covers towns of 2,500 or more with an overall grade. Bathurst, Inkerman, Richibucto, Woodstock and 97 more have no overall grade; their pages show the grades they have, and why.
