Is Sherwood No. 159 a good place to live?

Crime is low (B+). Walkability is its weak spot (D−). At $428,000, the median home value in 2021 came to 3.9 times local household income. Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for health and B− for jobs & income.

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. With fewer than 2,500 residents, Sherwood No. 159 gets subject grades but no overall one among Canadian towns.

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. 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.
