Is Beaurivage a good place to live?

Beaurivage’s weakest subject is cost of living (D). It also trails on jobs & income (D). Health is where it shines (A). Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A+). The overall grade comes out at C−, better than just over a fifth of Canadian towns. That places it #449 of 499 in Quebec.

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.
