Is Maple a good place to live?
Maple’s strongest subject is schools (A). Health is a strength too (A). Homes are dear (D). Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, ranking #99 of 858 in Ontario. It comes out better than just over four fifths of Canadian towns.
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.
