Is Humber Summit a good place to live?

Several subjects drag its grade down. Where it falls short is cost of living (D−). At D overall, Humber Summit ranks #838 of 858 in Ontario. On that grade it does better than nearly a tenth of Canadian towns. It lags on jobs & income as well (D). Its strongest is walkability (A+). Residents are healthier than most (A). Safety lags (D).

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.
