Hamilton Ranks 77 in MoneySense's Canada 2012 Best Places to Live

MoneySense has once again published their list of the 2012 Best Places to Live in Canada. Hamilton placed 77 based on a number of detailed variables and ranking. For the detailed listing, click here. For a description of the methodology used, click here. For our previous ranking, click here. 


While there are many variables to examine, Hamilton was rated favourably in terms of availability of health care facilities, while scoring poorly on population growth. While Hamilton placed 77, it was out of 190 places and thus we made it to the upper half of the spectrum.
