Mont-TremblantQuebec
Population 11,879: a town in Quebec. Its census division is Les Laurentides.
Is Mont-Tremblant a good place to live?
Taken together, its subjects give Mont-Tremblant a B− overall, better than 54% of Canadian towns. That places it #322 of 499 in Quebec. Residents are healthier than most (A−). Homes are dear (C−).
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.
