More than a third of Montrealers do some gardening
More than a third of Montrealers do some gardening even though some manage with a very small amount of space.

**Greater Montreal area: “les quartiers Montréal-Nord et Côte-Saint-Paul–Ville-Émard, à Montréal, le quartier Chomedey, à Laval, et les villes de Longueuil et de Terrebonne”.
I don’t believe Montreal-Nord and Côte-Saint-Paul-Ville-Émard are representative of the Island of Montreal.

It’s an odd selection, admittedly, but Montreal North and Côte-Saint-Paul-Ville-Émard are not unrepresentative either. What would you call the most representative boroughs?

I think they’re actually quite representative. Maybe not demographically, but certainly in terms of urban form. Montreal North by itself is extremely eclectic, with huge densely-packed apartment buildings, smaller mid-century duplexes and triplexes, and detached single-family houses. Ville-Émard and Côte-Saint-Paul consist mainly of prewar/mid-century duplexes and triplexes, with a lot of modern infill as well.

I agree that they are not necessarily “unrepresentative”, but I think it is premature to generalize them as being representative of the entire island. I think there are so many factors to consider (socio-economic, cultural, age, family composition, etc.) that, unless you are looking at several boroughs, you cannot generalize.
For example (and for different reasons), I would not compare Ville-Marie, Pierrefonds, or (if by “Montrealer” you mean people living on the Island of Montreal) Westmount to either of those two neighbourhoods.
