​This report reframes the comparison between international immigrants and residents of priority neighborhoods in the Saint John CMA, New Brunswick away from cultural difference and toward shared experiences of displacement, precarity, and constrained access to urban resources. Drawing on the concepts of domains of commonality, emplacement, and the right to the city and fieldwork and surveys between 2021 and 2024, the findings show that immigrants and long‑standing low‑income residents are not opposing populations but co‑participants in urban life who encounter the same structural crises through different pathways.
