Is Saint-Liguori a good place to live?

Buying a home costs less than in most towns (A−). Its weakest is walkability (D). Its other grades sit near the middle: B for safety, B for jobs & income and B− for hazard risk.

An overall grade comes at 2,500 residents for Canadian towns; Saint-Liguori has its subject grades alone.

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.
