How the towns in Nunavut grade overall0 ranked towns
How does Nunavut compare with the other provinces and territories?
On its report card, which sets figures for the whole province beside how its towns grade, Nunavut comes 8th of 13 overall (C+). It does best on cost of living and worst on health.
Is every town in Nunavut 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?
A province ranks its towns once five or more have an overall grade; Nunavut has fewer, so its towns stand in national order. Iqaluit, Arviat, Rankin Inlet, Igloolik and 14 more have no overall grade; their pages show the grades they have, and why.
