Is Maugerville a good place to live?

Jobs and pay hold up well (A). It is hard to get around without a car (D). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for cost of living and B− for safety. Residents’ health trails most towns (C).

Maugerville has subject grades but no overall grade: Canadian towns get one from 2,500 residents.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. 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.
