Vimont: B for safety, and why
How sure: Less sure than most. The grade rests on a figure for the whole city, so Vimont’s own streets could sit well above or below it.
The grade weighs the Crime Severity Index and its violent half, averaged over 2023–2025, against every Canadian town and city neighbourhood of 1,000 people or more.
Its place: #242 of 503 in Quebec and #736 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Solved cases. Police clear an incident by charging someone, recommending a charge, or closing it another way. The rate weighs serious crimes more, as the index does.
- How serious, not how safe. Statistics Canada builds the index from every crime police record, weighted by how seriously the courts treat it, and divides by the population. It adds a warning of its own: “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
- City-wide figures. No open data breaks the city’s crime down by neighbourhood, so Vimont carries the city-wide figures.
- Reading the number. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
