The B− for Jésuites, and how it is built
How sure: Not as firm as most grades, since the figure covers the entire city rather than Jésuites alone.
The grade weighs the Crime Severity Index and its violent half, averaged over 2023–2025, against every Canadian town and city neighbourhood of 1,000 people or more.
Its place: #289 of 503 in Quebec and #951 of 2,572 Canadian towns.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The whole city’s numbers. No open data breaks the city’s crime down by neighbourhood, so Jésuites carries the city-wide figures.
- Reading the number. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
- Solved cases. Police clear an incident by charging someone, recommending a charge, or closing it another way. The rate weighs serious crimes more, as the index does.
- How serious, not how safe. The Crime Severity Index adds up police-reported crime, each kind weighted by the sentences courts give it, so one robbery counts for more than many thefts. In Statistics Canada’s words, “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
