Canada's Best Places to Live - Methodology

From the May 2008 issue of MoneySense magazine
This year's Best Places to Live has 154 cities. To come up with this year's ranking, we started by gathering information on the 137 Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomeration areas that had a population of 10,000 or greater (and for which the required data was available). We then broke up the CMAs of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec City, Hamilton, Oshawa and Kitchener into their component cities of 100,000 or more in population.
Next we ranked each of those 154 communities by the following categories. The categories were scored out of a given number of points (in brackets next to each category name). The higher the potential points, the more weight that category had in our final ranking.
Weather and air quality (out of a total of 20 points)

This category included four sub-categories: The total amount of precipitation in a year (out of 6 points; the closer it was to the ideal amount of 700 mL/year, the better), the number of wet days (6 points; the fewer the better), the number of days where the temperature drops below 0??C (6 points; the fewer the better), and the air quality based on measurements of ozone and particulate matter. (2 points; the lower the better). Source: Environment Canada.



Housing (15 points)

This category included two sub-categories: Average absolute house prices (7.5 points; the higher the average house price the lower the score), and time to buy a house (7.5 points; this was calculated by dividing the average house prices by the average pre-tax household incomes for the community, and the higher the number of years to buy a house, the lower the score). Sources: house prices from MLS, Toronto Real Estate Board, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.; average estimated 2008 household incomes from Canadian Demographics, FPMarkets/MapInfo.
Household income (5 points)

The higher the average household income, the higher the score. Source: 2008 estimates as per Canadian Demographics, FPMarkets/MapInfo.
Discretionary income (5 points)

We calculated the average discretionary income as a percentage of total household income. The higher the percentage, the higher the score. Source: 2008 estimates as per Canadian Demographics, FPMarkets/MapInfo.
New cars (5 points)

We looked at the number of 2004 to 2006 model year vehicles as a percentage of the total vehicles in the community in 2006. The higher the percentage, the higher the score. Source: Canadian Demographics, FPMarkets/MapInfo.
Unemployment (10 points)

The lower the unemployment rate, the higher the score. Source: Statistics Canada and 2008 estimates as per Canadian Demographics, FPMarkets/MapInfo.
Walk/Bike to work (10 points)

The higher the percentage of people who walk or bike to work in the community, the higher the score. Source: Statistics Canada, 2001 data.
Population growth (10 points)

The average population growth in Canada between 2001 and 2006 was 5.4%. We determined that the ideal growth rate for a community would be higher than the national average, so we chose an ideal rate of 7.4% in total over the 2001 to 2006 time period. The closer a community's actual growth rate was to this ideal rate, the more points it got. Communities with a negative growth rate received zero points. Source: Statistics Canada
Crime (7.5 points)

The total rate of violent crime in each community per 100,000 people. The higher the rate, the lower the score. Source: Statistics Canada.
Medical professionals (7.5 points)

The number of physicians, per 1,000 people in each community in 2007. The higher the number of health professionals, the higher the score. Source: Canadian Medical Association and Statistics Canada.
Amenities (5 points)

We awarded up to 2 points for public transit and 1 point each for a hospital, university or college. Sources: Statistics Canada, web searches.
Attractions (up to 4 bonus points)

Communities received 1 bonus point for each of the following: having a casino, being a provincial or federal capital, having a major sports team, and having a major attraction such as a theatre or ski hill. Cities with multiple teams or attractions only received 1 point per category.
