Each question below is answered on the map type that fits it — Score, Amount, Fair share, Missing, Clusters or Variety — hex by hex. A hex is one hexagon on the map, about 350 m across (roughly 0.1 km²). Each answer leads with what the map found, lists its Standouts — the ranked groups of nearby hexes that come out on top — with the numbers behind them, and states what the data cannot tell you. The link at the end opens that exact map of Montreal (Montréal) on the same map type, so you can change the measure, the division or the comparison and get a different answer.
None of these is the only “right” way to ask. They are starting points chosen to show which measures exist for Montreal (Montréal) and how the map type you pick changes what you can honestly say.
Where should you open a new coffee shop in Montreal (Montréal)?
coffee shop demand-and-competition score — resident counts and walkable streets against existing coffee shop presence
This answer identifies the highest-ranking Standouts in Montreal (Montréal) as Cremazie (Montréal), Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie (Montréal), and Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (Montréal). Cremazie (Montréal) leads with a score of 90/100 across 37 hexes. On the Missing map, Marc-Aurele-Fortin (Montréal) and Desmarchais-Crawford (Montréal) are short about 1 coffee shop each for residents within a 10-minute walk.
A shortlist by 3 factors, not a site recommendation.
How this answer was built
Three factors: how many people are around, how walkable the streets are, and how many of this business type are already mapped there. The last is scored inverted, so a hex ranks high when demand factors are strong and existing presence is thin.

What this can’t tell you
This is a shortlist, not a site recommendation. It has no rent, no footfall, no unit availability, no licensing and no catchment modeling, and a thin mapped presence is not proof that a hex is unserved.
Try changing it
· Raise the importance of the competition factor to prioritize hexes with the least existing presence.
· Swap the demand factor for the age band or household type your customers actually fall into.
· Draw your own catchment on the map to score just that area.
All of these are adjustable on the Montreal (Montréal) map on the Free Tier.
The same question for other kinds of place
Same factors and importance, only the kind swapped. The Standouts are the Score map’s; the last column is where that kind is short for the people who live there, on the Missing map.
This answer ranks every hex in Montreal (Montréal) based on coffee shop competition (less is better, importance 45%), pedestrian length m (more is better, importance 25%), and Total population (more is better, importance 30%). It then groups the top-scoring hexes into the Standouts below.

Which parts of Montreal (Montréal) have the densest walkable streets and transit?
Walkable street length blended with transit stop count — a walkability score (Overture Maps)
In Montreal (Montréal), the highest-ranking Standouts are Downtown Montreal (Montréal), Le Sud-Ouest (Montréal) and Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (Montréal). Downtown Montreal (Montréal) leads with a score of 63.6/100 across 37 hexes, where the data shows ≈0.17 km of walkable streets and ≈20 transit stops. Each Standout is a group of high-scoring hexes within a 1,200 m radius.
A shortlist by 2 factors, not a site recommendation.
How this answer was built
Meters of walkable street and the number of transit stops, both counted from mapped geometry in the same hex. Together they describe how much of the network you can use on foot and how easily you can arrive without a car.

Every answer reads Montreal (Montréal) hex by hex on one of the map types below, then groups the hexes at the end it asks about into Standouts. Sources: Statistics Canada Census 2021.
Score — Each factor ranks every hex from 0 to 100 against the rest of the city; the Score adds them by importance, and a hex with no data for a factor is scored on the factors it has.
Amount — The Amount map shows one measure in every hex, as a total, per 1 000 residents, per km² or as a share of its category; a Standout pools the hexes inside its circle.
Variety — The Variety map scores how mixed a set of kinds is in each hex, from one kind only to an even mix; a Standout groups the most mixed third.
Fair share — The Fair share map divides each hex's rate by the whole city's rate, so 1× is exactly average; a Standout groups the hexes furthest from it on one side.
Missing — The Missing map applies the whole city's rate to each hex's residents to say how many there would be at that rate, and shows the difference in whole places.
Clusters — The Clusters map tests whether a hex and its neighbors hold more, or less, of a measure than chance would explain, with a correction for testing every hex at once.
Each hex is an H3 resolution 9 hexagon. Each Standout gathers hexes within 1.2 km of its center, and the 5 strongest are kept. Change the size on the map to widen or tighten them.
Hexes are only ranked where the thing being measured could actually exist, so a Less is better factor cannot present empty parkland as an opportunity. Shops, homes and offices need a building; transit stops, EV chargers and bike docks only need a street or path. A hex that already has some of the measure is always ranked.
Dating the numbers
The Census of Population is a single-day count taken every five years.
Places, buildings and transportation come from a dated Overture Maps release. A place record means the place is mapped, not that it is licensed, open, or of any particular size.
Statistics Canada Census 2021 is a single vintage, so nothing here describes growth, decline or any change over time.
“Unemployment rate” is computed by this pipeline from published components; the publisher does not release it directly.
How far each answer can be pushed
Each question is labeled with a tier. The tier caps what the answer may claim, whatever the numbers say.
T4 — This is a ranking of hexes, not a measurement of people. The factors it combines are counted in different universes — the data contains no table crossing them — so a high rank means both factors rank high in the same hex, not that they describe the same residents.
