It runs from Highway 417 in the north between the Rideau River and Limebank Road in the west and Leitrim Road, the abandoned CP Rail line, Lester Road, Davidson Road, Conroy Road and Hunt Club Road in the southeast.

Major employment sectors are government and retail industry. Average family income is $76,013 and unemployment is seven per cent. About 45 per cent of residents rent their homes.

According to the 2001 census, 29 per cent of the population are immigrants. The Arabic speaking population is 6.4 per cent, the highest in the province. About 13 per cent of residents are francophone.

Ottawa South was created in the 1986 redistribution from portions of Ottawa-Carleton, Ottawa Centre and Ottawa-Vanier. In 1994 a small part of Carleton-Gloucester was added. In 2004, small areas from Ottawa-Vanier and Ottawa-Orléans were added.
