Around the start of the 21st century, Montreal North developed a reputation as being one of Montreal's most dangerous boroughs, along with Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. The area contains a sizable community living below the poverty line, though it also has middle-class and upper-middle-class residences. It is also home to one of Canada's largest Haitian communities.
Major thoroughfares in Montreal North include St. Michel Blvd., Pie IX Blvd. (Autoroute 25), Lacordaire Blvd., Langelier Blvd., Leger Blvd., and Henri Bourassa Blvd. The Pie IX Bridge connects Montreal North to the Laval district of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul.
It has an area of 11.07 km2 and a population of 83,911.

Federal and provincial elections
The borough is located almost entirely in the federal riding of Bourassa, except for a tiny southeastern corner in Honore Mercier.
The provincial electoral district of Bourassa Sauve is coterminous with the borough except for a northwestern section in the electoral district of Maurice Richard.
The borough has four libraries within the Montreal Public Libraries Network: Belleville, Bibliotheque de la Maison culturelle et communautaire, Charleroi, and Henri Bourassa.[12]
