How Trois-Rivieres scores

Rising+14

Trois-Rivieres sits at City Score rank #45 with a standing of 58%, from 6 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. Rising 14 places versus 2022 (#59 → #45).

Latest owned placements: indoor radon rank #299 of 327 at 45 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.

Among Canadian cities on the hub, Trois-Rivieres carries a City Score standing of 58% (rank #45 of 343) with 6 of 8 pillars observed. That sits 11 points above the Quebec peer average across 34 ranked cities. Within Quebec, Trois-Rivieres ranks #2 of 34 on City Score.

The strongest signal in the current chart is indoor radon (standing 91%, rank #299 of 327, raw score 45.1). The weakest observed pillar is seismic hazard (standing 18%, rank #61 of 343). Crime severity uses the Statistics Canada police-service CSI mapped to Trois-Rivières, Quebec (table 35100026), not a regional proxy.

Drinking-water hardness on the water atlas reads 216 mg/L as CaCO₃ for Trois-Rivieres. Compare that figure to the hardness pillar on the chart and to the national hardness guide on the hub.

Trois-Rivieres in brief

Trois-Rivières orients to water and a short civic code. Le Nouvelliste still frames the city inside Mauricie, while the municipal home treats 311 as both phone number and service brand. Culture 3R and the Corporation des événements run the arts machinery; Tourisme Trois-Rivières is the visitor face linked from v3r.net. Between Montréal and Québec on the fleuve Saint-Laurent, the Parc portuaire is the open balcony where that geography becomes a walking loop, and FestiVoix plants its Scène du Quai right on the port quay when summer wants a free outdoor stage.

Summer stages stack fast. Amphithéâtre Cogeco is the named confluence showroom on avenue des Draveurs, where the Saint-Maurice meets the Saint-Laurent and Cirque du Soleil residencies share the calendar with touring acts. Culture Trois-Rivières also calls the city the capitale internationale de la poésie around the Festival International de la Poésie, keeps rue des Forges animated on free weekends, and lists Grand Prix race nights beside DansEncore. A navette fluviale on the municipal home keeps river mobility in ordinary speech, not only in tourism copy, which is how locals talk about getting across water without making it a special occasion.

The second water habit is the Saint-Maurice side trip: Maïkan sits minutes from centre-ville, while Les Forges du Saint-Maurice holds the industrial shoreline story. Musée Pop and Île Saint-Quentin cover walkable downtown days when the amphitheatre is dark. Jardins de Niverville and jardins des Ursulines still host free outdoor theatre on the Culture Trois-Rivières list. OpenStats City Score ranks Trois-Rivières 115 of 343 for 2026. Rank aside, hometown voice is dialable and fluvial: 311 for problems, Culture 3R for the calendar, Cogeco and the Parc portuaire when the confluence wants a crowd.

Connectivity · OpenStats

OpenStats Broadband Download Speeds

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 City Score

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.
