Is Saint-Jude a good place to live?
A town of contrasts. Buying in is costly (D−). On health it is strong (A). Walkability is another plus (A+). Overall, that makes a C+, good for #375 of 499 in Quebec. Set against the rest, it does better than 43% of Canadian towns. Jobs & income is weaker too (D).
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.
