Rural and remote

This describes the place named by the program’s location label. Programs can train in several towns, so it is not every site.

Remoteness index: 0.258 0 is least remote, 1 is most remote. Statistics Canada calls this index experimental.

Housing, cost and work

Each figure names the area it covers. A missing line means the source publishes nothing for this area.

Rental vacancy rate: 3.8% October 2025 survey, Moncton, New Brunswick (census metropolitan area). The share of purpose-built rentals (three units and over) vacant, not a rent.
Basic cost of living: $55,159 a year Market Basket Measure 2025, Moncton, New Brunswick, for two adults with two children. A modest, basic basket (the poverty line), not a resident’s budget. A size-class region is not the town itself.
Unemployment rate: 7.6% September 2026, three-month average, seasonally adjusted, Moncton, New Brunswick (census metropolitan area); standard error 0.7 points. A survey estimate.
