Residential development
Sherbrooke Avenue.

While a small amount of residential development (5.0%) occurred before the end of the Second World War, according to the 2001 federal census, most residential development in the neighbourhood occurred between 1946 and 1960. It was during this period that two out of every three residences (66.3%) of all residences were constructed. One-seventh (15.3%) of residences were built during the 1960s, and the remaining 13.8% residences were built after 1970.[9]

The most common type of residence, according to the 2005 municipal census, is the single-family dwelling. These account for three out of every four (73%) of all residences in the neighbourhood. One in eight residences (13%) is a row house and one in eight residences (13%) is a rented apartment in a low-rise building with fewer than five stories. Two-thirds (66%) of residences are owner-occupied while one out of three (34%) residences are rented.[10]

Population mobility

The population of the neighbourhood is somewhat mobile. According to the 2005 municipal census, one resident in seven (13.8%) had moved within the previous twelve months. Another one resident in five (21.8%) had moved within the previous one to three years. Just under half (48.3%) had lived at the same address for five years or more.[11]

Surrounding neighbourhoods
gollark: We have exciting TV like "BBC Parliament".
gollark: Analog TV got shut down here ages ago.
gollark: So I guess if you consider license costs our terrestrial TV is *not* free and costs a bit more than Netflix and stuff. Oops.
gollark: - it funds the BBC, but you have to pay it if you watch *any* live TV, or watch BBC content online- it's per property, not per person, so if you have a license, and go somewhere without a license, and watch TV on some of your stuff, you are breaking the law (unless your thing is running entirely on battery power and not mains-connected?)- it costs about twice as much as online subscription service things- there are still black and white licenses which cost a third of the priceBut the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
gollark: Hold on, I wrote a summary ages ago.
