Is Beauceville a good place to live?
Some subjects shine; others lag. Health is its strong suit (A). Buying a home costs less than in most towns (A−). What holds it back is hazard risk (C−). The overall grade lands at A+, #27 of 499 in Quebec. Nationally, it does better than 97% of Canadian towns.
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 Sûreté du Québec unit's figure for the whole MRC. 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.
