Is E-F-K-Section (bramalea) a good place to live?

The picture is mixed. Prices are high against local incomes (D−). E-F-K-Section (bramalea) grades C+ overall and ranks #591 of 858 in Ontario. Set against the rest, it does better than just over two fifths of Canadian towns. Jobs and pay trail most towns (D). Where it does best is walkability (A+).

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it.

Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
