Is Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey a good place to live?

Homes are affordable (A−). Residents are healthier than most (B+). Also worth knowing: its weakest is jobs & income (C). Its remaining grades are unremarkable: C+ for safety and C+ for walkability.

Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey 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. 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.
