Is Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan a good place to live?

Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan’s best grade is for safety (A−). The weak point is schools (D−). Homes were valued at a median $250,000 at the 2021 census, 4.1 times the typical household’s income. It also trails on jobs & income (D−). Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B− for walkability and B for hazard risk.

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan has subject grades but no overall grade: Canadian towns get one from 2,500 residents.

This town's rent is the 2021 census rent scaled to 2025 by its province's ratio of surveyed to census rents: no rental survey covers it, so its Cost Grade is less sure. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. Crime here is counted against the people who live here, but many visitors or second-home owners add to it, so the rate per resident runs higher than residents' own risk. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
