OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Steinbach.
Steinbach sits at City Score rank #107 with a standing of 47%, from 8 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. The chart below shows how that standing moves year to year.
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #124 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #5 of 117 at 257 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #39 of 172 (13.50 mill rate).

Where Steinbach sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Steinbach's municipal homepage leads with Strong Roots, Real Growth, and the street sense matches: a Southeast Manitoba service centre that still treats Mennonite Heritage Village as the cultural landmark visitors ask for by name. The Village spreads across forty acres with a working windmill, pioneer street, and the Livery Barn Restaurant, and August long weekend means Pioneer Days demonstrations rather than a generic fairground loop. City notices still point to 225 Reimer Avenue for taxes and elections, while summer Movie in the Park nights land at A.D. Penner Park with lawn chairs and a late start.
The Carillon keeps the desk local, covering the RM of Hanover beside town, Hanover Ag Fair memory pieces, MCC Thrift Store community notes, and sports chatter around the Pistons and Nighthawks. Compost Saturdays at Woodlawn School and Stonybrook Middle School are the kind of small municipal habit that marks a place where yard work and city services share the same calendar. Plautdietsch heritage programming at the Village sits beside a broader Southeast Manitoba audience the museum says it serves on purpose.
Fall on the Farm extends the Village season past the heat, and civic election prep for October 2026 already shows up on city pages. OpenStats also lists Steinbach among its higher indoor radon rankings, a data aside to the louder Heritage Village and A.D. Penner Park identity. What a local would claim is specific: Reimer Avenue city hall, Penner Park movie nights, Pioneer Days at the windmill grounds, and a Carillon beat that still says Hanover in the same breath as Steinbach.

City Score from 2016–2025 across eight open-data pillars. Individual study placements are listed in the panels below.
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.
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Construction · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.

Composite · OpenStats
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). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, 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.

Safety · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index (Table 35-10-0026-01). Rank 1 is highest CSI (worse). Values are CMA where a metro match exists, otherwise provincial CSI. Hometown pages label the grain.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by municipal drinking-water hardness (mg/L as CaCO₃). Hardness changes slowly; the atlas vintage is carried across panel years and flagged when static for more than two years.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by reported lead (µg/L) on the OpenStats water atlas. Carried across panel years until annual municipal report panels are ingested.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Health · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Health Canada survey mean indoor radon (Bq/m³). Rank 1 is the highest mean. Decade panel years without a new survey carry the CMA survey vintage forward; they are not annual retests.
10 editions · 2016–2025
sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by weighted count of documented local teams (pro, junior, university, high-school hubs). Rank 1 = deepest documented sports footprint among covered seed cities. Not a claim about on-field success. See sports methodology for weights and gaps.

sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities with a Manitoba Junior Hockey League club in the OpenStats seed list ranked by regular-season points percentage. Rank 1 = highest points %. Source: Wikipedia MJHL season standings. Clubs in towns outside the seed list are omitted.

Growth · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by year-over-year population growth from Statistics Canada annual CSD estimates (Table 17-10-0155-01). Rank 1 is fastest growth. A few places without a clean CSD match use a provincial-path estimate anchored to seed population.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Property tax · OpenStats
OpenStats
Municipalities ranked by residential mill rate. Rank 1 is the highest rate. Published municipal years are used when available; gaps are interpolated or follow the provincial median path so the tax pillar moves year to year for every city.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Hazards · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by NRCan peak ground acceleration (higher = stronger shaking hazard). Rank 1 is highest PGA. The seismic model is multi-year; values are carried across the City Score panel and flagged as static until NRCan publishes a new generation.
