How scores work

  1. We gather public data

    Census, crime, housing, healthcare and amenity data from Statistics Canada, CMHC, cities and OpenStreetMap.

  2. We compare like with like

    Each area is ranked against all of Canada, and against places of a similar size.

  3. You decide what matters

    Adjust the weights when you compare places to get a score built around your priorities.
