land useAt the census tract scale, most of the high population density zones in Greater Montréal are located in the centre of MontréalIsland. Other zones of relatively high density can be found in the western part of the Longueuil agglomeration – mainly inthe borough of Vieux-Longueuil, but also in the municipality of Brossard – and the southeastern part of Laval Island – inparticular in the Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont Viau neighbourhoods.On the North and South Shores, where the population density is lower than in the other three sectors of Greater Montréal,there are nonetheless some zones where the population density is a bit higher. On the North Shore, most of the populationis concentrated in zones near the Rivière des Prairies, while on the South Shore, it is concentrated mainly in zones near theSt. Lawrence River or in the axis of highways 112 and 116.Population density (inhab./km²) byGreater Montréal census tract, 200630Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population 2006.
