North Bay Gateway To The North

 

The latest MoneySense Magazine Best Places to Live list has been released and North Bay has dropped a few spots compared to last year.

North Bay is 133rd out of 219 communities on this year’s list, with check marks in low taxes and easy to walk, bike and take transit.

That means the city was in the top 25 percentile in those two categories.

Overall in 2015, the city placed 103rd out of 209 communities.

A number of areas are looked at to compile the list, from healthcare to unemployment, income, crime rate and more.

Along with other sources, MoneySense used census information from Stats Canada and demographics from Environics Analytics to come up with the list.

Around the northeast, Sudbury was 84th on this year’s list, while Timmins was 98th and Sault Ste Marie is 165th.
