309 registered charities give a Longueuil mailing address
There is no count for Saint-Jude on its own: the charities are those of all of Longueuil. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.2; the median is 1.4 for Quebec towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
25.2%
The whole province shares one estimate: 25.2% of people in Quebec volunteered formally in 2023 (between 24.0% and 26.4%), where the ten provinces run from 25.2% to 40.3%.
