MoneySense uses ten categories to rank cities. They include wealth and economy, demographics, home affordability, low taxes, transit-friendly, health accessibility, low crime, arts and community, nice weather, and amenities. When home affordability is pulled to most important, PG ranks third among all BC and Territory cities behind Fort St. John and Quesnel.
