OpenStats City Score, ranking history, and local readings for Sorel-Tracy.
Sorel-Tracy sits at City Score rank #9 with a standing of 63%, 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 #99 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #105 of 117 at 45 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #137 of 172 (8.33 mill rate).

The Saint-Laurent face of town at 5 rue St-Pierre. When someone says they are going to look at the fleuve, this is the named park they mean.

Where Sorel-Tracy sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Sorel-Tracy orients by two waters at once. The fleuve Saint-Laurent is the big face of town, and Parc Regard-sur-le-Fleuve at 5 rue St-Pierre is the postcard edge where that face becomes a park bench. Municipal services still speak Pierre-De Saurel when they point to the wider region, so the city does not pretend it floats alone. Hotel de ville business keeps rue Charlotte in the civic address book while the shoreline does the emotional work of explaining where you are.
Turn inland along the rivière Richelieu and the park list changes names but not importance. Parc de la Maison des gouverneurs sits on chemin des Patriotes with the Jardins de la Baronne as the garden tell. Parc des Bateaux Blancs hugs the Richelieu near pont Turcotte, and Quai Catherine-Legardeur keeps a named quay in the waterfront circuit. Parc régional des Grèves stretches the outing map when a neighbourhood park feels too small. Maison des gouverneurs also shows up as a hall-rental listing, which is how heritage buildings earn their keep in a working river city.
SorelTracy Magazine covers the local desk when you want community news without borrowing a Montreal lede. Sports, culture, and municipal notices travel under that hometown masthead for readers who already know rue Charlotte from the inside. The OpenStats City Score puts Sorel-Tracy at rank 14 of 125 in 2026, a strong composite standing for a mid-size river city. The hometown portrait stays specific: Regard-sur-le-Fleuve for the Saint-Laurent, chemin des Patriotes parks for the Richelieu, and Pierre-De Saurel as the regional name that still rides municipal pages.

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 Sorel-Tracy 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.
