Hamilton earned a "D" grade and ranked low on a list of the most attractive Canadian cities for newcomers.
The Conference Board of Canada released the 2014 version of its City Magnets report on Thursday, which factors in 43 different categories including heath, education, economy and housing. Overall, Hamilton finished 42nd out of 50 Canadian cities, both large and small, in terms of attractiveness to newcomers. In the same report in 2010, Hamilton had a "C" rating.
Overall, Hamilton did well in terms of health — it was one of just three large cities to earn a "B" grade and finished 12th overall — but did poorly in a number of other categories. That's bad news for the city's future, the study's authors warned.
"Cities that fail to attract new people will struggle to stay prosperous and vibrant," said Alan Arcand, of the board's Centre for Municipal Studies in a news release.
In other categories, Hamilton finished:
- 44th in economy. Grade: C
- 37th in environment. Grade: B
- 26th in education. Grade: C
- 36th in housing. Grade: C
- 43rd in innovation. Grade: D
"Without question, the 'D' cities are struggling," the report says, pointing out they're unattractive destinations for migrants with or without university degrees.
Hamilton is one of ten Ontario cities in this category, but along with Brampton it's one of the largest. Smaller cities nearby, including St. Catharines, Brantford and Cambridge, also earned "D" grades.
