Is Pincourt a good place to live?

A town of contrasts. Pincourt grades A− overall, better than 83% of Canadian towns, and ranks #173 of 499 in Quebec. Where it does best is safety (A). Hazard risk is higher than most (C−). Cost of living is weaker too (C+).

Rents here are the metro area's average, shared by every town and neighbourhood in it. 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.
