Is Pine Grove a good place to live?

Much to like here, and you pay for it. Pupils here do better than most (A). The trade-off is cost of living (C−). Overall, that makes an A−, good for #149 of 858 in Ontario. It comes out better than 77% of Canadian towns. Its other grades sit near the middle: B for jobs & income and C+ for walkability.

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.
