Each entry below is one question turned into a map query. It names the fields it weighs and why, shows the areas that come out on top with their real measured values, and states what the data cannot tell you. The link at the end opens that exact query on the Montreal (Montréal) map with the weights already set, so you can change a weight, swap a field, or draw your own area and get a different answer.
None of these are the “right” query. They are starting points chosen to show which fields exist for Montreal (Montréal) and how combining them changes what you can honestly say.

Published median total household income for 2020, in Canadian dollars.
What this can’t tell you
It is a household figure, not a salary, and it covers 2020 — a year of large pandemic benefit payments that lifted low household incomes across the country. Income is suppressed in Dissemination Areas with too few respondents, so some areas carry no value at all.
Try changing it
· Switch to median after-tax income, which nets out taxes and transfers differently.
· Add the low-income rate to read the bottom of the distribution.
All of these are adjustable on the Montreal (Montréal) map on the Free Tier.

Residents who immigrated 2011–2021 blended with non-permanent residents — a newcomer index (Census 2021)
In Montreal (Montréal), the areas with the highest scores are Parc Kent, Montagne, and Le Plateau-Mont-Royal. Parc Kent leads with a score of 93/100 across 37 blocks, showing ≈10,431 residents (immigrated 2011 to 2021) and ≈7,129 residents (non-permanent resident).

Two published classes covering people who have recently arrived by different routes: permanent residents who landed in the last decade, and people here on temporary work or study permits. They come from separate tables over the same residents, so ranking both up finds the areas where arrival — of any kind — is concentrated.

Every query ranks Montreal (Montréal) block by block on the fields it names, combines those ranks into a 0–100 score using the weights shown, then groups the highest-scoring blocks into areas. Sources: StatCan Census 2021. Because the score is a blend of ranks rather than a ratio, it tells you how areas compare with each other — not how many of anything there are per resident.
Each block is scored as a weighted percentile rank over available signals, renormalised by data coverage, rescaled to 0-100; blocks are H3 resolution 9 hexagons. Areas were formed with the score cluster engine at a 1.2 km radius, keeping the 5 strongest. Change the radius on the map to widen or tighten them.
Areas are only ranked where the thing being measured could actually exist, so a gap search 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. Anywhere the measure is already present counts as a candidate by definition.
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 release. A place record means the venue is mapped, not that it is licensed, open, or of any particular size.
StatCan 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.
“Share aged 65 and over” is computed by this pipeline from published components; the publisher does not release it directly.
Counted as residents aged 20–24 on 11 May 2021, the StatCan Census 2021 reference date. Those residents are older now; census age bands are never rolled forward, because people move in, move away and die, and the published band cannot be re-aged without a full cohort model.
Counted as residents aged 25–34 on 11 May 2021, the StatCan Census 2021 reference date. Those residents are older now; census age bands are never rolled forward, because people move in, move away and die, and the published band cannot be re-aged without a full cohort model.
Counted as residents aged 85–120 on 11 May 2021, the StatCan Census 2021 reference date. Those residents are older now; census age bands are never rolled forward, because people move in, move away and die, and the published band cannot be re-aged without a full cohort model.

How far each answer can be pushed
Each question is labelled with a tier. The tier caps what the answer may claim, whatever the numbers say.
T4 — This is a ranking of places, not a measurement of people. The signals it combines are counted in different universes — the data contains no table crossing them — so a high rank means both signals rank high in the same area, not that they describe the same residents.
Builds MapBees's location-intelligence pipeline end to end — census and Overture Maps ingestion, H3 hex scoring, and the map interface — and writes the methodology behind every number on the site.
