Is Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue a good place to live?

Some subjects shine; others lag. Where it falls short is cost of living (D). Police record more crime here than in most towns (C). Walking, cycling and public transport work well here (A+). Health is a strength too (A−). The overall grade comes out at C+, better than 38% of Canadian towns. In the ranking it comes #392 of 499 in Quebec.

Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
