The document presents a panoply of characteristics of the population living on the territory of the districts, the total population according to sex and age, household structure and families, the countries of birth of the immigrant population, the languages and also some socio-economic characteristics such as schooling and household income.
A bulky document with statistics for each district. It says, inter alia, that immigrants account for 29% of the population of the district and 31% of the population of Montreal. Also, 71% of the residents of the district speak French at home, that is to say a rate higher than the whole of Montreal. Also, 52% of the population of the relatively bilingual district knows the two official languages.
