Is Memramcook a good place to live?

Few people walk, cycle or take the bus to work (D). Health is a weak point (C). Households here earn well (B). The overall grade comes out at C+, #24 of 59 in New Brunswick. That leaves it better than 37% of Canadian towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B− for cost of living and B for safety.

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.
