Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts is a Laurentides town that still orients by lac des Sables. Agathois read lake-health updates the way other towns read snow-clearing maps, and APELS (Association de protection de l'environnement du lac des Sables) shows up in the civic partnership list whenever water quality is the week's file. Plage Major opening status is summer headline material on the city home. Downtown gathers at Place Lagny, the lakeside square named for the twin city, and Hôtel de Ville sits on rue Saint-Joseph within walking talk of the water.
Culture stays local and named. Bibliothèque Gaston-Miron carries a poet's name on the municipal library door. Scène Liliane Bruneau is the new outdoor stage for warm-weather programming after the unveil notices. Info du Nord Sainte-Agathe lists Théâtre Le Patriote shows beside Place Lagny events, so weekend plans bounce between lake edge and theatre seats without needing Montreal. The municipal bulletin is simply titled l'Agathois, which tells you how the town prefers to address itself on paper.
Parc Pierre-Fournelle keeps baseball and park life in the neighbourhood mix, while 311 handles the citizen-service entry on the home page next to beach status. Lake reports, stage nights, and library hours share one Agathois checklist. Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts sells itself as a Laurentides town where lac des Sables health, plage Major status, and Place Lagny programming come before tourist slogans. Visitors hear vacation language; locals hear the lake first On slow midweeks, Agathois still treat Place Lagny and plage Major as the default meeting points before anyone mentions ski hills.

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 Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts 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.
