Transparent comparison—not a ranking

Neighbourhood Comparison Worksheet

Choose how important each criterion is to your household, then score only what you have observed or verified. The tool does not label a neighbourhood “good,” “bad,” or “safe,” and it does not use demographic proxies. Results remain in your browser and should support—not replace—repeat visits and reliable evidence.

Scores use only criteria rated for both areas with a priority above zero. Unrated criteria are omitted, so a partial score is not a complete comparison. Record where each fact came from, revisit uncertain items, and avoid treating hearsay or stereotypes as evidence. Check official planning information and consult qualified professionals where needed.
