Is Napierville a good place to live?

Napierville’s weakest is safety (C−). With a B− overall, Napierville is better than nearly half of Canadian towns and ranks #349 of 499 in Quebec. Health outcomes beat most towns (A−). Homes were valued at a median $324,000 at the 2021 census, 4.1 times the typical household’s income. It is strong on walkability as well (B+).

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. 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.
