Analyse de la cohabitation spatiale des communautés immigrantes avec les francophones et les anglophones de la région métropolitaine de Montréal

The authors measure and analyse the residential cohabitation of Allophone immigrants with Montreal Francophone and Anglophone host communities. Their study population was selected from the National Household Survey of 2011 and was composed of the population living in households where the principal livelihood provider was born outside the country or has a parent born outside the country. For the fifteen immigrant communities studied, the authors constructed two regression models with, as dependent variables, the proportion respectively of third generation Francophones and third generation Anglophones living in the same district. This enabled the authors to calculate standardised indexes of interaction according to a series of independent variables such as age, sex, length of residence, education, income and languages spoken. They found that in overall terms, the spatial assimilation of immigrant communities took place with reference to Montreal's Anglophone minority rather than the city's Francophone majority. However there was a high degree of heterogeneity both between and within communities.
