Is Mount Royal a good place to live?

With a B overall, Mount Royal is better than 64% of Canadian towns and ranks #316 of 858 in Ontario. Health is where it shines (A−). Housing is expensive (C). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for safety and B for walkability.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: this is the whole city's figure, because the city doesn't publish open neighbourhood crime rates. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
