The prize for the best quality of life in the world goes to our country,
and, by extension, to our province and our region. In comparison with
other cities in Quebec, and mostly with other countries, Rimouski-Neigette
offers cost of living indices that are relatively low. Here are some
data that will convince you. Note that several data are not yet available
for our MRC, but we know that our region's indices are lower than
Montréal or Québec City.
