Is Dewdney East a good place to live?

The picture is mixed. Households here earn well (A). Dewdney East ranks #40 of 102 in Saskatchewan, with a B− overall. Nationally, it does better than 52% of Canadian towns. Safety is its weak spot (C−). Its other grades sit near the middle: C+ for cost of living and B for health.

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.
