Montreal and Quebec City are regarded as two of the best cities in Canada. However, when it came to a recent ranking of the best cities across the country to get rich, neither Montreal nor the province's capital made the cut but three other Quebec cities did.
A new report breaks down "livable income" thresholds in seven Quebec cities. The study from the Institut de recherche et d’informations socioéconomiques (IRIS) examined the cost of living in Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec City, Saguenay, Sept-Îles, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières to determine how much money a household would need to make after taxes in 2022 to live both above the poverty line and "with dignity" in each urban area.
