Is Mandeville a good place to live?

The data are hard on it. Where it falls short is jobs & income (D−). At C− overall, Mandeville is better than 17% of Canadian towns and ranks #491 of 499 in Quebec. Getting around depends on the car (D). Owners valued their homes at a median $200,000 in 2021, which is 3.8 years of the typical household’s pay. Hazard risk is low (B+). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for safety and B for health.

Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021.

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. Crime here is counted against the people who live here, but many visitors or second-home owners add to it, so the rate per resident runs higher than residents' own risk. 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.
