Housing

Typical housing in Ahuntsic Cartierville is the apartment building with five floors or less built between 1946 and 1960 and this is probably the reason why a large number of the residents are tenants.

The monthly rent is lower than the average in Montreal and perhaps this is why the residents of Ahuntsic Cartierville tend to move less often than the average Montrealer.

One out of three residents was born outside Canada and one out of ten has a father or a mother who was born abroad. The immigrants living in Ahuntsic Cartierville are from Italy, Lebanon and Haiti, and the immigrants who recently settled in the borough are from Algeria, Morocco and Romania.

Population

While over one quarter of the population is under 25, the borough is characterized by a strong representation of senior citizens aged 65 and over. The presence of retirement residences on Gouin explains this particularity, but the number of people aged 65 and over and living alone is increasing.
