Which city is best for retirees?<br \/>\nThis is what drives us at MoneySense magazine to publish our Canada\u2019s Best Places to Live list. We look at empirical, objective criteria such as housing affordability, incomes, job prospects, crime rates and access to health care. Even weather is taken into account. Information is taken from the Census Metropolitan Areas, Census Agglomeration and\u00a0Statistics Canada.<br \/>\nWe include every community with a population of more than 10,000 people \u2014 180 cities and towns in all. Each one is ranked in more than 20 different categories for a final figure out of a possible 105 points. The scores are close (we go to four decimal places) and no city is perfect. Only two scored higher than 70, and just barely.<br \/>\nWe don\u2019t expect everyone to agree with our findings. What makes a city appealing for one person may make it unlivable for another. We\u2019re often asked, \u201cwhat about the scenery, or the community spirit?\u201d The fact is there are plenty of subjective, intangible criteria that we intentionally leave out of our formulas for the simple reason that they cannot possibly be measured. Our list simply provides a fact-based comparison from which people can make their own decisions on where people would like to live.<br \/>\n<strong>#10: Winnipeg, MB<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>#9: Repentigny, QC<br \/>\n<strong>#8: Edmonton, AB<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>#7: Brandon, MB<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>#6: Fredericton, NB<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>#5:\u00a0St. Albert, AB<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>#4: Kingston, ON<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>#3.\u00a0 Burlington, ON<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>This southern Ontario suburb remains in third spot this year thanks mainly to low taxes and high household and discretionary income.
