Is North Qu'Appelle No. 187 a good place to live?

Where it falls short is safety (D). The typical owner put their home at $496,000 in 2021: 4.7 years of the median household’s income. Health is a weak point (D).

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. North Qu'Appelle No. 187 has subject grades but no overall grade: Canadian towns get one from 2,500 residents.

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.
