Longueuil is one city that still sounds like three when council night arrives. Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, and Greenfield Park keep separate arrondissement sessions on the municipal calendar, and Longueuillois navigate that map without translating it into Montreal borough slang. Service requests go to 311 or Mon portail citoyen; the civic address on Chemin de la Savane is the quiet institutional landmark behind those tools. Agglomération de Longueuil is the wider frame when the conversation leaves city limits.
Transit talk names the RTL, the Réseau de transport de l'agglomération de Longueuil, and the OPUS card that rides with it. That is South Shore vocabulary, not STM métro gossip, and locals correct outsiders who blur the two. On the economy page, city hall leans hard into a pôle aérospatial story, the kind of investment headline that makes Longueuil sound like a hangar town as much as a residential one. Greening work partners with Soverdi for a long tree-planting target, so the environmental file has a named ally instead of a vague pledge. Info-travaux and collectes sit in the same quick-link row as aerospace announcements, which is how Longueuil sounds: hangars in one headline, recycling day in the next.
On the OpenStats City Score for 2025, Longueuil sits at rank 299 of 343. The hometown read is agglomeration geography: borough pride first, RTL buses second, and an aerospace pitch that keeps industrial identity on the front page beside the pool schedule. Greenfield Park's English place name on French council agendas is part of that texture.

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.
Safety · OpenStats
Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Longueuil 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
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.

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). 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.
