Montreal current city / old city

Single Family detached: 55,743 (7.5%) / 24,006 (4.8%)
Single Family attached: 46,824 (6.3%) / 28,507 (5.7%)
Duplexes: 109,256 (14.7%) / 64,515 (12.9%)
Apartments under 5 stories: 435,436 (58.6%) / 319,073 (63.8%)
Apartments 5 stories or more: 91,418 (12.3%) / 61,514 (12.3%)
So Montreal has more small apartments than Chicago or Toronto and less single family and large apartments.

Fair enough, I guess I confused some of the 2-3 storey apartments for single family homes when looking at Chicago.
