Is Nipissing 10 a good place to live?

The local economy is weaker than most (D). It also trails on health (C−). Pupils here do less well than most (C−).

Nipissing 10 is a First Nations reserve, so it has no overall grade and no place in ranked lists: Statistics Canada suppresses or doesn’t collect much of a reserve’s data, and its grades couldn’t be set fairly beside other towns’.

No Safety Grade: no police service publishes a crime rate for this place on its own. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread. A First Nations reserve: subject grades only, with no overall grade and no place in ranked lists.
