Is Bartonville a good place to live?

A tough set of grades. Prices are high against local incomes (D−). Bartonville grades C− overall, better than 16% of Canadian towns, and ranks #793 of 858 in Ontario. The local economy is weaker than most (D). Walkability is its strong suit (A+). Its other grades sit near the middle: B− for safety and B for health.

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.
