    The study was focused on those who arrived in Canada during the last five years and involved data from 439 cities across the country, with a population of greater than 10,000 each. 43 variables spanning 10 categories were examined after being identified as crucial in shaping the decision to relocate to a new city.<\/p>\n

    These were:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Economy: In assessment of a city\u2019s financial health, this category studied the job market, income levels, tax, and overall economic stability. Some cities with the lowest unemployment rate, as per the study, were Oak Bay, Colwood, Norwich, Middlesex Centre, and Port Coquitlam.<\/li>\n
    • Housing: This category evaluated housing affordability and its accessibility for seniors. The average value of primary real estate was considered, as was that of property tax, and household dwelling expenditure. The Globe also looked at seniors\u2019 housing per capita.<\/li>\n
    • Demographics: A city\u2019s stability and sustainability in terms of population growth, diversity, and cultural richness are all important aspects of its composition. The metric in question thus covered them under its breadth by using a diversity indicator index based on the percentage of French-as-mother-tongue individuals in the population, the percentage of first- or second-generation immigrants, and the percentage of visible minorities in the population.<\/li>\n
    • Healthcare: The quality and accessibility of healthcare services and residents\u2019 perception of their health status was covered by this metric.<\/li>\n
    • Transportation: The public transit system, accessibility, and overall ease of driving around the city were aspects covered by this category.<\/li>\n
    • Climate: The climate variations in each city were tabulated, with extreme conditions and seasonal conditions being recorded. This included the number of days in a year with a 35-plus humidex and when the daytime low temperature was lower than -15 degrees Celsius.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Winnipeg and Regina saw the most days with a temperature colder than -15 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
