OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Levis.
Levis sits at City Score rank #39 with a standing of 57%, from 8 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. The chart below shows how that standing moves year to year.
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #43 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #46 of 117 at 120 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #142 of 172 (8.11 mill rate).

Where Levis sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Lévis faces Quebec City across the water and builds its day around that crossing. The Traverse Québec-Lévis is the commute metaphor, Quai Paquet is the waterfront checkpoint, and the Parcours des Anses is the path Lévisiens name when they mean a river walk. STLévis handles the bus side, including the Navette Paquet, so transit talk stays local instead of borrowing Montreal STM vocabulary. 311 Lévis is the service desk brand when a sidewalk or a bin goes wrong.
Sectors keep their old parish names in the works list. Saint-Romuald and Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon show up when Boulevard Guillaume-Couture or Rue Saint-Laurent go under construction, and residents track those corridors the way other cities track a ring road. Summer branding runs as Je vis Lévis, with the Centre culturel de Lévis on the leisure map for indoor nights. When the Grands Feux Loto-Québec light the sky, Lévis publishes its own traffic alerts; the fireworks may face the capital, but the detours land on this shore. Route des Rivières works in Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon keep the parish-sector map alive even as Lévis sells itself through waterfront recreation and ferry convenience.
On the OpenStats City Score for 2026, Lévis sits at rank 72 of 125. The hometown read is south-shore ferry-and-path geography: Anses for the evening walk, Quai Paquet for the waterfront file, and a skyline that belongs to the neighbours across the river without turning Lévis into a footnote. STLévis and the traverse keep the commute conversation bilingual in geography even when the paperwork is French.

City Score from 2016–2025 across eight open-data pillars. Individual study placements are listed in the panels below.
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.
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Construction · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.

Composite · OpenStats
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). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, 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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Safety · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index (Table 35-10-0026-01). Rank 1 is highest CSI (worse). Values are CMA where a metro match exists, otherwise provincial CSI. Hometown pages label the grain.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by municipal drinking-water hardness (mg/L as CaCO₃). Hardness changes slowly; the atlas vintage is carried across panel years and flagged when static for more than two years.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by reported lead (µg/L) on the OpenStats water atlas. Carried across panel years until annual municipal report panels are ingested.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Health · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Health Canada survey mean indoor radon (Bq/m³). Rank 1 is the highest mean. Decade panel years without a new survey carry the CMA survey vintage forward; they are not annual retests.
10 editions · 2016–2025
sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by weighted count of documented local teams (pro, junior, university, high-school hubs). Rank 1 = deepest documented sports footprint among covered seed cities. Not a claim about on-field success. See sports methodology for weights and gaps.
Single edition · 2025
Only one published edition places Levis in this study so far. Open the edition for method notes and the full table.
Growth · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by year-over-year population growth from Statistics Canada annual CSD estimates (Table 17-10-0155-01). Rank 1 is fastest growth. A few places without a clean CSD match use a provincial-path estimate anchored to seed population.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Property tax · OpenStats
OpenStats
Municipalities ranked by residential mill rate. Rank 1 is the highest rate. Published municipal years are used when available; gaps are interpolated or follow the provincial median path so the tax pillar moves year to year for every city.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Hazards · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by NRCan peak ground acceleration (higher = stronger shaking hazard). Rank 1 is highest PGA. The seismic model is multi-year; values are carried across the City Score panel and flagged as static until NRCan publishes a new generation.
