Best places to live in Greater Vancouver

22 places with 368,930 residents within about 25 km of Vancouver, ranked for 29 household profiles. Local data: official statistics on affordability, green space, education and family, health and elderly, jobs and economy, lifestyle and amenities, mobility and connectivity and safety and community (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.

A greater area here means every municipality whose nearest big-city core is Vancouver, within a radius that grows with the size of the city (20 to 60 km). It is a practical commuting belt, not an official region.
