Safety is paramount when contemplating a move to a new area. There are certain areas to avoid in Québec, as they exhibit higher than average crime rates. Everyday activities like walking alone at night or leaving vehicles unattended can inadvertently attract criminal elements, especially in high-risk neighborhoods. Québec serves as a prime example of a city grappling with such concerns, primarily due to its large size and high population density. Drawing from recent crime data, we've compiled a list of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Québec for 2024. These rankings are based on the incidence of violent crimes per 100,000 residents in each neighborhood, compared to the city's overall violent crime average.

Recognizing the human impact behind each statistic is crucial, as it represents individuals and families affected by the devastation of violent crime. The rankings of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Québec not only provides insight into areas requiring immediate attention, but also mobilizes collective action to safeguard the safety and welfare of all Québec residents.
