Is Maidstone a good place to live?

Maidstone’s strongest subject is walkability (A+). The weak point is safety (D). Hazard risk is lower than in most Canadian towns (A−). Health is weaker too (C).

Maidstone has subject grades but no overall grade: Canadian towns get one from 2,500 residents.

This town's rent is the 2021 census rent scaled to 2025 by its province's ratio of surveyed to census rents: no rental survey covers it, so its Cost Grade is less sure. Safety is the police detachment's figure, shared with the towns and countryside around it. 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.
