Is Parc-Jarry a good place to live?

The weak point is cost of living (D). Parc-Jarry grades C+ overall, better than 41% of Canadian towns, and ranks #381 of 499 in Quebec. It lags on safety as well (C). Residents are healthier than most (A). Walkability is another plus (A+).

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.

Lowwildfire bandCHazard risk Grade

Shaking is a bigger worry than in most places, at $0.20 a year per $1,000 of building value ($0.030 typical). Fire seldom reaches Parc-Jarry: since 1986, 0.1% of the land within 25 km has burned (0.002% a year). The national flood inventory has no study of the town. Nobody publishes earthquake risk for Parc-Jarry alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Montréal.
