Is Pleasant Hill a good place to live?
More weak spots than strong ones. Pleasant Hill’s overall grade of C− puts it better than 17% of Canadian towns, #93 of 102 in Saskatchewan. Where it falls short is cost of living (D). Jobs & income is weaker too (D). It is easy to get around without a car (A+).
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.
