Is Masonville a good place to live?

Plenty to like here, at a price. Its standout strength is schools (A−). Masonville ranks #184 of 858 in Ontario, with a B+ overall. Nationally, it does better than 74% of Canadian towns. Residents are healthier than most (A−). What holds it back is cost of living (C−).

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.
