The New Social Geography of Montreal: The socio-spatial evolution of income distribution between 1980 and 2015 in the Montreal Metropolitan Area

The present study is an update of a previous study on the evolution of income distribution in the Montreal area by Damaris Rose and Amy Twigge-Molecey, A City-Region Growing Apart? Taking Stock of Income Disparity in Greater Montreal, 1970-2005 (Rose and Twigge-Molecey 2013). While not a full revision of the previous analyses, this report takes advantage of the reintroduction of the long-form census in 2016 and the data released from it to update the research for the 1980-2015 period. The present report was produced under the Neighbourhood Change Research Partnership, headquartered at the University of Toronto. Centraide of Greater Montreal is the main research partner of the Montreal team of the Partnership, and contributes to the development of research projects and the questions that guide them.
