Is Crapaud, Part 1 a good place to live?

Police record less crime here than in most towns (A−). A median home here was worth $300,000 at the census, or 3.7 times what the middle household earns in a year. It is hard to get around without a car (D). Elsewhere it is close to typical: C+ for health and B− for jobs & income.

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. Crapaud, Part 1 is graded subject by subject, but Canadian towns need 2,500 residents for an overall grade.

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 is the police detachment's figure, shared with the towns and countryside around it. Crime here is counted against the people who live here, but many visitors or second-home owners add to it, so the rate per resident runs higher than residents' own risk. 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.
