Montreal Household and Dwelling Profiles from the 2021 Census

Household and housing profiles were developed by the Housing Department of Montreal for an in-depth analysis of the 2021 census. The data tables are produced at the level of the agglomeration, the city, and the districts of Montreal, crossing variables relating to households and housing. Profiles from previous censuses (2006, 2011, and 2016) are also available.

Use Cases

• Analyzing household composition and income distribution across Montreal districts based on census variables.
• Evaluating housing affordability and overcrowding based on housing cost and effort rate data.
• Comparing demographic trends over time using profiles from the 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 censuses.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple geographic levels: agglomeration, city, and districts of Montreal.
• Includes historical data from four census years (2006, 2011, 2016, 2021).
• Crosses multiple key variables on households and housing as described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is presented in HTML format, which may require extraction for analysis.
