The neighbourhood report
What the public data and the press report within 500 m of an address, gathered in one document.
Who it is for
For people buying or renting a home or looking for a business location, and for brokers who want an area’s public record in one document. It answers three questions: what has been reported nearby, how that compares with the rest of the island, and how it has changed since 2015.
What the report contains
- Summary and what stands out
- Written findings, chosen by fixed, published rules: serious incidents first, then rates clearly above or below the island’s.
- In the press
- Events reported by Montréal media since January 2015 within 500 m, the borough’s count, and press-reported violence within 1 km.
- Around the address
- Maps of where SPVM reports cluster, all categories together, then one category at a time.
- Crime within 500 m
- The last twelve months, the four twelve-month periods before them and the change since 2015, per resident, against the island.
- Serious and violent crime
- The police sector’s totals, serious incidents near the address, deaths within 1 km since 2015, and Statistics Canada’s rates for the SPVM’s territory.
- 311 requests
- Requests made to the City about discarded needles and about homelessness within 500 m, against the City of Montréal.
- Fire and medical
- Interventions by Montréal’s fire department (SIM) within 500 m, month by month.
- How to read it, sources and limits
- How to read each figure, where the data comes from and what it leaves out, with appendices of reports year by year and Statistics Canada’s tables.
