Is Beaver River No. 622 a good place to live?

Hazard risk is low (A−). Its weakest is safety (D−). The typical owner put their home at $310,000 in 2021: 4.3 years of the median household’s income. Health is a weak point (D). It also trails on walkability (D).

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. Beaver River No. 622 is graded subject by subject, but Canadian towns need 2,500 residents for an overall grade.

Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. Crime here is counted against the people who live here, but many visitors or second-home owners add to it, so the rate per resident runs higher than residents' own risk. 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.
