Is Meadowvale a good place to live?

Meadowvale does the important things well, at a cost. Its strongest subject is walkability (A+). Add schools to its strengths (A−). What holds it back is cost of living (D). The overall grade comes out at B+, #282 of 858 in Ontario. Nationally, it does better than nearly two thirds of Canadian towns. The rest of its grades are middling: B for safety and C+ 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.
