Is Milton-Parc a good place to live?
Several subjects drag its grade down. Where it falls short is cost of living (D−). The local economy is weaker than most (D−). Also worth knowing: its standout strength is health (A). Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A+). All told, that adds up to a C− overall, better than 18% 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. No School Grade: this province doesn't publish comparable results school by school. 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 university neighbourhood: graded, but left out of rankings (so many residents are students that income and jobs read as students' figures).
