Where Belleville - Quinte West sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Belleville and Quinte West share the Bay of Quinte the way neighbours share a driveway. In Belleville, the Moira River still organizes a walk: Parrott Riverfront Trail hugs the river near downtown, Riverside Park Trail keeps going along the water, and Zwick's Park puts a lit loop right on the bay. Kiwanis Bayshore Trail follows the north shore past marina and launch points, the sort of after-supper route people mean when they say they are heading by the Bay. Glanmore National Historic Site sits on the civic map as the Victorian house stop, while Discover Belleville keeps summer calendars busy with dates like the Belleville Caribbean Festival downtown. Belleville Senators nights give the hockey crowd its own compass.
A few minutes west, Quinte West sells itself as A Natural Attraction and backs the line with water and wings. Trenton holds City Hall and Trent Port Marina. Frankford still gets named for ward parties and Frankford Tourist Park. The Trent-Severn Waterway meets the bay here, with a seasonal Lock 1 visitor kiosk on Trenton-Frankford Road for boaters who treat the corridor as a highway. 8 Wing CFB Trenton and the National Air Force Museum of Canada keep aviation in everyday place-talk; Fusion Fest is the newer waterfront festival pitch on the municipal calendar.
OpenStats puts the combined Belleville - Quinte West placement at City Score rank 97 of 125 for 2026. Rankings aside, the hometown read is Moira trails, bay loops, Trent locks, and a base town that never pretends the runway is far away.

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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.

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.

Water · OpenStats

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
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.
