If you're a millennial, you might want to pack your bags and head to one of these spots.

Point2 has just ranked Canada's Top Millennial Hot Spots in 2021 out of 85 of the largest cities in the country, and tons of Ontario places made the list.

While Quebec City came in at number one for most desirable, these Ontario cities all make it into the top 25:

  • Ottawa
  • Kingston
  • Waterloo
  • Toronto
  • Guelph
  • Hamilton
  • Peterborough

The nine factors that the data is based on are health care, housing, life satisfaction, unemployment rate, crime rate, level of education, climate, income and the percentage of millennials in the population.

According to the study, some of the lowest-rated places for millennials in the province are Chatham-Kent, Sarnia and Brantford.
