Achievements
Published residential mill-rate context for Edmundston.
Hill venue for municipal recreation events such as the Bike Rodeo. Locals know it as a program site as much as a skyline bump.
Saint-Basile park with the sector splash pad. Families treat it as the warm-weather stop on that side of town.
Saint-Basile's Parc du Berceau carries the municipal splash pad for that sector.
Where Edmundston sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Edmundston runs on a French-first municipal voice, even when you click the English pages. Downtown, Festival Royal is the summer file that reshapes traffic for a couple of days, and Artisans' Square is where Canada Day free activities and evening shows land. De l'Église Street shows up in milling notices the way any hometown main street does when paving trucks arrive. Farther out, Riceville Road and Gabourie Road trade culvert closures and single-lane lights, the ordinary public-works rhythm that keeps the outage centre busy.
Sectors still matter. Saint-Basile has Parc du Berceau and its splash pad, and police notices name the sector the same way recreation does. Saint-Jacques is the neighbourhood named when adapted housing had to relocate. Mont Farlagne is the hill the City uses for a Bike Rodeo, a recreation landmark rather than a brochure peak. Léopold-Couturier Avenue sits between Albert Street and Isidore-Boucher Boulevard on the stormwater rehab list, which is how infrastructure talk sounds when the City awards a contract.
Indoor life points to the Jean-Daigle Centre among municipal facilities, and SOLSTICE Energy sits in the services menu as the local utility name. CBC New Brunswick still picks up Edmundston when housing covenants or sector projects spill into provincial headlines, but the day-to-day map is Festival Royal downtown, Saint-Basile for the splash pad, and Mont Farlagne when the kids need a hill. Street notices keep naming De l'Église, Riceville, and Gabourie because that is how people actually navigate construction season. Edmundston is northwest New Brunswick city life with sector names locals still use.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.
