Other B.C. cities were also ranked. Kelowna rated number one in income generation and Victoria rated number two in good youth jobs. In the study “Vancouver” was comprised of 14 municipalities in Metro Vancouver, stretching from West Vancouver to White Rock and from Vancouver to Maple Ridge. Not surprisingly, Vancouver ranked near the bottom for cost of living: 24th out of 27 cities. Vancouver also didn’t score well on income generation.
