How it's scored: each area is rated 1–10 on eight factors — value, infrastructure & services, culture & heritage, quiet, transport access, rental depth, walkability and family suitability — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. City-specific structured data is thin for a provincial city this size (see the where-to-live guide), so these scores are deliberately conservative and directional rather than precise. It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.
