You can find all the data at above link and a ranking of the 123 communities. Ahead of Penticton were all of its Okanagan counterparts, including Kelowna, which ranked at an equally harsh 103, Kamloops at less-than stellar 93 and Vernon — the top ranked Okanagan city — at 89.

Don Quixote note: I used some of the data to compare the affordability of housing in the Cities studied in this survey.

In the table below I have ranked it from least affordable to most affordable.
