Title
2011 National Household Survey : The Jewish Community of Montreal. Part 1 Basic Demographics. Part 2 Jewish Populations in Geographic Areas
Abstract
The highlights of this Statistics Canada survey are: the Jewish population of Montreal was 90,780 in 2011. Jews comprised 2.4% of the total Montreal population. The size of the Jewish community’s population ranks eleventh among ethnic groups in Montreal and fifth in size among religious groups. Between 2001 and 2011 the Jewish community diminished by 2,760 people, or 3%. This loss was significantly lower than that experienced in the previous decade. Montreal has the second largest Jewish community in Canada, and about a quarter (23.2%) of the country’s Jewish population. The median age in 2011of the Montreal Jewish community (39.9 years) was somewhat younger than that of the Canadian Jewish population (40.5 years). The area with the largest Jewish population in the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) was Cote St. Luc, with 19,395 Jews. The West Island had the second largest community, with 12,055 Jewish residents. Hampstead had the highest density of Jews, who comprised 75.2% of its total populace.
