Amos sits at City Score rank #97 with a standing of 47%, from 7 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 44 places versus 2022 (#141 → #97).
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #145 of 172 (2025); residential mill rate rank #36 of 172 (13.60 mill rate). Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.

Where Amos sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
Amos is the place Abitibi drivers mean when they say they are heading into town on route 111. City hall sits on 1re Rue Est, but the visitor story starts a little farther out at the Maison du tourisme, where staff still hand out the Amos-Harricana map before anyone invents their own itinerary. Locals talk about Amos-Harricana as a shared territory with side roads worth knowing, not a slogan bolted on for tourists. MRC d'Abitibi framing keeps the town honest about being a service hub first.
Culture carries weight for a northern centre. The Vieux palais d'Amos keeps a courthouse silhouette while hosting exhibitions, and the Centre d'exposition d'Amos has been expanding exploratory gallery space instead of leaving the old building as a photo stop. Culture Amos gathers the calendar so residents do not have to hunt five Facebook pages to find a vernissage. When the city says On bouge à Amos, it is pointing at recreation, worksites, and street-level motion, not a brochure fantasy of empty wilderness.
Water is part of the pitch too. The Circuit à la découverte de l'eau Anisipi gives Amos a named way to talk about lakes and rivers without borrowing someone else's brand. Put together with Maison du tourisme desks on route 111, Amos reads as a practical hub that still invests in heritage rooms and visitor advice. It is Abitibi living with a courthouse square, an exhibition centre, and a tourism office that knows which secondary roads deserve a morning. Ask for Maison du tourisme hours before a Saturday loop, and someone will still send you toward Anisipi water stops and the Vieux palais evening openings without needing a script.

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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by weighted count of documented local teams (pro, junior, university, high-school hubs). Rank 1 = deepest documented sports footprint among covered seed cities. Not a claim about on-field success. See sports methodology for weights and gaps.
Single edition · 2025
Only one published edition places Amos in this study so far. Open the edition for method notes and the full table.
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Hazards · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by NRCan peak ground acceleration (higher = stronger shaking hazard). Rank 1 is highest PGA. The seismic model is multi-year; values are carried across the City Score panel and flagged as static until NRCan publishes a new generation.
