Is Trinity a good place to live?
A solid town with one catch. Its schools beat most (A−). Trinity’s overall B puts it #367 of 858 in Ontario. That leaves it better than three fifths of Canadian towns. It is easy to get around without a car (B+). The trade-off is cost of living (C−). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for safety, B for health and B for jobs & income.
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.
