Is Haultain a good place to live?

The picture is mixed. Prices are high against local incomes (D). Its strongest subject is walkability (A+). It is strong on jobs & income as well (A−). Overall, that makes a B−, better than 48% of Canadian towns. That places it #48 of 102 in Saskatchewan.

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.

How Haultain grades

Each subject compares Haultain with Canadian towns of 2,500 or more, ordered by how far it is from the middle. Towns in other countries are graded separately.
