Is Vimont a good place to live?
The everyday basics are strong; the price of a home is the catch. Health is where it shines (A). Hazards are a real consideration (D). Cost of living is weaker too (C). Overall, that makes a B+, good for #254 of 499 in Quebec. Set against the rest, it does better than 70% of Canadian towns. Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for safety and B for jobs & income.
Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. Safety less sure: this is the whole city's figure, because the city doesn't publish open neighbourhood crime rates. 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.
