Is Nominingue a good place to live?
Health is its strong suit (A). A median home here was worth $250,000 at the census, or 4.4 times what the middle household earns in a year. Its lowest grade is for jobs & income (D). It lags on safety as well (C+).
Figures: home values and income: Statistics Canada, Census 2021. Nominingue is graded subject by subject, but Canadian towns need 2,500 residents for an overall grade.
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.
