Campbellton in brief

Campbellton now answers to Campbellton Regional Community, and that name is not stationery fluff. The municipality folds in the former towns of Atholville and Tide Head plus McLeods and Glencoe, then maps council work across Areas: Tide Head to Glencoe, Atholville to St-Arthur, Val D'Amours, and Campbellton to McLeods. City Hall still sits on Water Street, while the Memorial Regional Civic Centre is where the new council took its oath. People here still say Campbellton in conversation; the regional label is how the paperwork keeps the sectors in one room.

Geography stays blunt in the municipal about line: Chaleur Bay at the mouth of the Restigouche River, north tip of New Brunswick, Restigouche County. That river-and-bay framing is what separates Campbellton from inland mill towns and from Bathurst farther down the same bay. Notre Dame St. has been the named corridor for water and sewer work tied to housing funding, the sort of street project that shows up when apartments and hydrants share a press release. Housing Accelerator talk and CHIF infrastructure dollars are the current civic growth file.

Culture leans Acadian without needing a tourist brochure. Les Éloizes, the Atlantic Acadian arts awards, are booked for Campbellton in May 2026, a hosting win the Regional Community announced with open pride. Everyday landmarks stay practical: Salle de quilles Gerard Bertin and Alma Hall on the municipal menu, Campbellton Regional Hospital as the health-care name locals already know, Polyvalente Roland-Pépin as the school shorthand in community bios. Campbellton is Restigouche-mouth geography, sector politics after reform, and an Éloizes year on the calendar.

Rankings for Campbellton

Each study below is its own ranking. Where a study has more than one edition for this city, the chart shows standing across those years only.

Safety · OpenStats

Crime severity not placed

Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Campbellton without copying a province, CMA, or another city. The safety pillar scores at median standing (50%) on City Score, the same rule used for other missing pillars.

Connectivity · OpenStats

OpenStats Broadband Download Speeds

OpenStats

Cities ranked by household-weighted maximum advertised download (Mbps) from ISED National Broadband Data hex ISP rows, with hex-to-city assignment by population-weighted gravity. The headline 2025 score is the dwelling-weighted mean of per-hex technology ceilings (fibre and cable at 1 Gbps, DSL lower). Household-weighted 50/10 availability (%) is stored on atlas rows as avail_5010_pct. Earlier panel years backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber and availability paths.

OpenStats City Score

OpenStats

Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016-2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0-1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Crime severity uses StatCan police-service CSI only (Tables 35-10-0026-01 and 35-10-0063-01); cities without a police-service match take median standing on the safety pillar. Growth uses StatCan CSD estimates; construction uses verified municipal building-permit value per resident (population field on each city record, 2021 Census vintage); mill rates and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.
