Area units: 1961 census divisions and subdivisions are shown. Census subdivision boundaries are shown as white lines, and only appear where the dominant mother tongue is not consistent throughout the census division. Data units: Census division circles and pie graphs show total population,
and absolute numbers and percentages by main mother tongue groups. |

Mother tongue by census subdivision: The colour of the census divisions or subdivisions represents the percentage of the population speaking the dominant language, French or English, as a mother tongue. |

Census division circles and pie graphs Census division data is represented by proportional circles or pie graphs. They appear gray when zoomed out, but zoomed in they subdivide into proportional pie graphs, with the slices representing the breakdown by mother tongue within that census division. |

| In 1961, although there was considerable ethnic diversity in Montréal, at least 67% of the population was of French origin, and 68% of French mother tongue. Nonetheless, English remained the dominant language in public space and in most work places. With the exception of Montréal, urban areas have been incorporated with the census subdivisions in which they are located. On the map adjacent census subdivisions with similar values and thus of the same category are amalgamated into a single unit. Individual subdivisions are shown only when they are of a different category from surrounding divisions. |
