Within Montreal, there has been a significant shift in where new immigrants choose to settle.<\/p>\n<p>This post describes where in the city new immigrants chose to settle during two periods: 1986 to 1991 and 2001 to 2006.  The shift in settlement patterns occurred for various reasons, including cost-of-living factors, source countries, and changes in the social networks that immigrants relied upon [a discussion beyond the purpose of this post, but see below for a reference].<\/p>\n<p>Click on the maps to enlarge them.<\/p>\n<p>The first map shows the percentage of residents per census tract who immigrated and settled between 1986 and 1991, according to the 1991 census:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3168\/2949733186_8550caf279_b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3168\/2949733186_8550caf279.jpg\" alt=\"1991\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second map shows the same, for the period 2001 to 2006, according to the 2006 census:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3067\/2949733484_2423cd5945_b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3067\/2949733484_2423cd5945.jpg\" alt=\"2001\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As seen in a comparison of the two maps, the neighbourhood choice for new immigrants has generally shifted from the northern regions of the metropolis to the centre.  Laval, Montreal East, and Montreal North no longer have the highest percentages of new immigrants. Now, some census tracts in C\u00f4te des Neiges and Ahuntsic contain nearly 30% recently immigrated residents.<\/p>\n<p>For a good read on the changing nature of Montreal&#8217;s immigration patterns and general history, check out <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Montr%C3%A9al-Quest-Metropolis-Annick-Germain\/dp\/0471949078\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1224258141&amp;sr=8-3\">Montreal: The Quest for a Metropolis<\/a><\/em> by Annick Germain and Damaris Rose (but find it in the library- it&#8217;s $185).<\/p>\n<p>Sources: the 1991 and 2006 Canadian Censuses via the University of Toronto&#8217;s CHASS system, and McGill&#8217;s EDRS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 1 in 5 people (20.6%) residing in the Montreal metropolitan area immigrated from abroad according to the 2006 Census.
