WestmountPopulation: 20,495 (2007 estimate) Median Age: 45.1 (2007 estimate)
Technically, Westmount is not a borough of Montreal,
but rather a separate "suburban municipality", although
it is located on the island (rather near the center) and
is surrounded by propoper city boroughs (arrondissements).
Demographics-wise, Westmount is majority-anglophone,
and affluent.
Westmount is not normally sub-divided into neighbourhoods,
but it's easy to see there are two general areas - the
area below rue Sherbrooke, with many multi-unit apartment buildings,
and the area above it, at the foothills of Mont Royal,
consisting mostly of private
(detached and semi-attached) houses and what can be
described as mansions.
