Portrait of boroughs on activity limitations, 2021

Discover our detailed portraits of the population who declared a limitation of activities. These portraits offer you a complete overview of the agglomeration, the city and each district. They highlight the distribution of this population by type of limitation, age group, and much more. This data will help you better understand the demographic dynamics that shape our community. Activity limitation data from the census questionnaire should be used with caution. The data has not been corrected for over/under counts; rather, they are used in the sampling process for the post-censal Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD). We chose to use them despite their shortcomings, because they are one of the only sources of information on activity limitation, in particular on the prevalence of certain types of limitations in Montreal. It is important to specify that these are “persons who reported an activity limitation for at least 6 months” at the time of the 2021 Census rather than “persons with disabilities”.
