Dropping−24

Georgina sits at City Score rank #70 with a standing of 56%, from 5 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. Dropping 24 places versus 2022 (#46 → #70).

Latest owned placements: indoor radon rank #267 of 327 at 60 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

In the 2025 City Score edition, Georgina carries a City Score standing of 56% (rank #70 of 343) with 5 of 8 pillars observed. That sits 3 points above the Ontario peer average across 123 ranked cities. Within Ontario, Georgina ranks #40 of 123 on City Score.

The strongest signal in the current chart is indoor radon (standing 82%, rank #267 of 327, raw score 59.7). The weakest observed pillar is population growth (standing 37%, rank #218 of 343).

Drinking-water hardness on the water atlas reads 144 mg/L as CaCO₃ for Georgina. Compare that figure to the hardness pillar on the chart and to the national hardness guide on the hub.

Georgina in brief

Georgina is town in south-central Ontario. Around 1986 the community took shape, borrowing a name from the family of Author Mazo de la Roche, who is buried in the cemetery, .

Georgina grew the familiar Canadian way: schools, rinks, churches, and a main street that still anchors weekends. Walk the older blocks and you can still spot seams between eras.

Georgina service economy ties to county seats, highway corridors, and regional employers that keep main street businesses busy through the year. On OpenStats City Score, Georgina ranks 164 of 343. Municipal recreation, parks, trails, and utility pages remain the best live guide to how Georgina explains itself today.

Permits, mill rates, broadband, radon, hazards, and water quality may show measured values, regional estimates, or empty states until a verified source is linked. That is the same honest pattern OpenStats uses for smaller places already in the corpus, and it keeps Georgina comparable on the hometown board without inventing numbers. Seasonal recreation programming, winter maintenance, and summer festival calendars still fill the municipal news feed most years. Library branches, arena ice, and aquatics schedules are the practical anchors families check before planning a weekend in Georgina.

Rankings for Georgina

Each study below is its own ranking. Where a study has more than one edition for this city, the chart shows standing across those years only.

Safety · OpenStats

Crime severity not placed

Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Georgina without copying a province, CMA, or another city. The safety pillar scores at median standing (50%) on City Score, the same rule used for other missing pillars.

Connectivity · OpenStats

OpenStats Broadband Download Speeds

OpenStats

Cities ranked by household-weighted maximum advertised download (Mbps) from ISED National Broadband Data hex ISP rows, with hex-to-city assignment by population-weighted gravity. The headline 2025 score is the dwelling-weighted mean of per-hex technology ceilings (fibre and cable at 1 Gbps, DSL lower). Household-weighted 50/10 availability (%) is stored on atlas rows as avail_5010_pct. Earlier panel years backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber and availability paths.

OpenStats City Score

OpenStats

Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016-2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0-1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Crime severity uses StatCan police-service CSI only (Tables 35-10-0026-01 and 35-10-0063-01); cities without a police-service match take median standing on the safety pillar. Growth uses StatCan CSD estimates; construction uses verified municipal building-permit value per resident (population field on each city record, 2021 Census vintage); mill rates and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.
