Is Industrial Sector A and Keith a good place to live?

Homes are dear (D). Jobs & income is weaker too (D). Its best grade is for walkability (A+). The overall grade comes out at D, better than 13% of Canadian towns. In the ranking it comes #819 of 858 in Ontario. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: 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.
