Is Saint-Antoine a good place to live?

Saint-Antoine’s strongest subject is safety (A). Add cost of living to its strengths (B+). Health outcomes fall short of most towns (C). It lags on hazard risk as well (C−). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B− for jobs & income and B− for walkability.

Canadian towns get an overall grade from 2,500 residents, so Saint-Antoine has subject grades only.

This town's rent is the 2021 census rent scaled to 2025 by its province's ratio of surveyed to census rents: no rental survey covers it, so its Cost Grade is less sure. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. No School Grade: this province doesn't publish comparable results school by school. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
