Saint-Georges sits at City Score rank #313 with a standing of 40%, from 5 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. Dropping 12 places versus 2022 (#301 → #313).
Latest owned placements: indoor radon rank #120 of 327 at 111 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

Saint-Georges calls itself the Métropole de la Beauce without blinking, and Georgiens treat that as a work schedule more than a postcard line. City hall pushes nature à vivre on the homepage, then sends you straight into entrepreneur files: the École d'entrepreneurship de Beauce, the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Saint-Georges, and the Conseil économique de Beauce. Beauce Média covers the same corridor of towns, so regional news and municipal notices feel like one conversation rather than two separate desks.
Street talk still names concrete corners. When resurfacing hits, the communiqué points to pont David-Roy and 118e Rue, not abstract downtown. The Musée des lilas sits in the civic carousel like a lilac-season appointment you put on the family calendar. Ahead of the Jeux du Québec in 2027, sports hosting shows up beside ordinary 311 and CITAM alert habits, which is a very Beauce mix of ambition and practical messaging. Ma Vie, Ma Ville is the portrait-video title the city uses when it tries to explain itself to newcomers without a sales pitch.
What holds is Beauce pride with a practical edge. Georgiens collect Ordre du mérite georgien honours, watch Beauce Média for neighbouring towns, and measure summer by lilac museum visits and roadwork detours across pont David-Roy. Development partners and citizen alerts share the same municipal front page. Saint-Georges sells itself as the Beauce metro that still keeps entrepreneurship schools, chamber files, and lilac gardens on one menu, and expects Georgiens to know all three without a brochure.

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 Saint-Georges 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.

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.
