Is Saint-Odilon-de-Cranbourne a good place to live?

Cost of living is its strong suit (A+). It is a safe place by the numbers (A−). Its lowest grade is for hazard risk (C−). Elsewhere it is close to typical: B for jobs & income and B− for walkability.

An overall grade comes at 2,500 residents for Canadian towns; Saint-Odilon-de-Cranbourne 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.
