Is Saint-Georges-de-Windsor a good place to live?

Saint-Georges-de-Windsor’s strongest is health (A). It also does well on cost of living (B+). Safety lags (C+). Its remaining grades are unremarkable: B for jobs & income, B− for walkability and B for hazard risk.

With fewer than 2,500 residents, Saint-Georges-de-Windsor gets subject grades but no overall one among Canadian towns.

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.
