Montreal Sociological Districts 2014

Sociological districts from the Government and Municipalities of Québec delineate 32 recognized Montreal neighborhoods based on history, belonging, and socio-community organization. The data, last updated in 2026, is available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP and GEOJSON. It represents a non-administrative territorial concept used for local consultation.

Use Cases

• Map the 32 sociological district boundaries using SHP or GEOJSON files for urban planning visualization.
• Analyze the socio-community organization basis for each district's recognition by local actors.
• Integrate district polygons with other Montreal datasets using the 2014 temporal coverage for historical urban analysis.

Strengths

• Data covers 32 distinct sociological districts within Montreal.
• Available in multiple interoperable formats, including SHP and GEOJSON for geospatial analysis.
• Provided by the authoritative Government and Municipalities of Québec.

Limitations

• The dataset lacks tabular columns and sample data, limiting understanding of associated attributes.
• The concept is non-administrative, which may complicate integration with formal municipal boundary datasets.
• The core data reflects the 2014 division, potentially not capturing subsequent neighborhood evolution.
