Is Parc-Kent a good place to live?

Parc-Kent grades low on several counts. Buying in is costly (D−). Its overall grade is C−, better than 18% of Canadian towns. The ranking puts it #486 of 499 in Quebec. Jobs & income is weaker too (D−). People here tend to be in good health (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.
