\ud83d\udccd Poverty \u2013 very high<\/strong>

<\/strong><\/strong>The neighbourhood\u2019s low-income rate reaches 21%, the second highest in Montreal after Peter-McGill, and twice the Montreal average (11%). This situation affects all age groups (0\u201317, 18\u201364, and 65 and over). Families, whether single- or two-parent, are particularly affected, and the median household income, at $44,800, ranks as the second lowest on the island, well below the Montreal average ($58,000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0e Immigrant population and asylum seekers \u2013 strong presence<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>

Nearly one in two residents in the neighbourhood is an immigrant (45%, or 12,840 people), compared to one-third in Montreal (33%). The neighbourhood also hosts the second largest population of asylum seekers on the island after Montr\u00e9al-Nord, with 3,940 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u270f\ufe0f<\/strong> French proficiency and low educational attainment (without a high school diploma) \u2013 limited and high<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>

53% of neighbourhood residents speak French, one of the lowest rates on the island. In addition, 11% speak neither French nor English, well above the Montreal average (2%). Among adults aged 25 to 64, 25% are undereducated, meaning they do not have a high school diploma, more than double the Montreal average (9%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

68% of residents, nearly 20,000 people, belong to visible minority groups. This rate, the highest on the island, far exceeds the Montreal average of 38%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfe2<\/strong> Housing \u2013 inadequate, unaffordable, or too small<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>

A significant proportion of households in the neighbourhood face housing issues. The core housing needs rate reaches 17%, the highest of all Montreal neighbourhoods. Affected households live in housing that is inadequate, unaffordable, or too small for the number of occupants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
