Montreal maps - proof that livin' ain't so bad here...

Various concerned researchers have been trying to dig up issues in Montreal proving that the poor are screwed, which seems fairly self-evident anyway.Here's the cancer map. It's sorta old. But showz you that they should kick the butts out in lowerland and the east end.

Here's the educational map. Not much book learning in that Ahuntsic-St. Michel - Park Ex axis.
Here's the 2001 welfare map.
Here's the immigrant map. Explains why you don't see black people in Verdun much.


Montreal is the national leader in single parenthood, at least based on the 2001 stats. We have 33 percent single parenthood. Places like the Point have about fifty-fifty single parent and double parent households.Video lottery terminals in the city as of about 2001. Seems like you'll have a place to play anywhere on the Main from top to bottom.
This map looks like it took a massive effort for not much result. Elsewhere it has been argued that poor neighbourhoods often have no access to grocery stores. The hypothesis was unproven here, the problem of grocery deserts are simply not a problem in Montreal, conclude the scientists.

These are maps demonstrating poverty on the island. A bit too complicated for me to analyze on a hot day.
This map of violent crime in Montreal demonstrates that if you don't live in the point or Hochelaga Maisonneuve or whatever that place in the far north east is - you'll be ok. I'd put up the map of crimes against property but that's even more meagre, there's only one tiny blue spot on the entire map.

There's a few more maps here.The heat maps in number six are particularly interesting.
