Is Manor Park a good place to live?

A well-rated place to live, with prices to match. Manor Park grades B+ overall, better than 70% of Canadian towns. It ranks #225 of 858 in Ontario. On health it is strong (A+). Getting around on foot or by bus is easy (A+). Housing is expensive (D). Hazards are a real consideration (C+). The rest of its grades are middling: B− for schools and B− for jobs & income.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety uses the city's Crime Severity Index, scaled by this neighbourhood's own violent and property 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.
