Housing in Paris
Paris is the eighth most expensive city in the world for
luxury housing: €12,105 per square metre (€1,125/sq ft) in 2007 (with Londonat
the most expensive with €36,800 per square metre (€3,420/sq ft)). According
to a 2012 study for the La Tribune newspaper, the most expensive
street is the quai des Orfèvres in the 1st arrondissement, with an average price
of €20,665 per square metre (€1,920/sq ft), against €3,900 per square
metre (€360/sq ft) for rue Pajol in the 18th arrondissement.
The total number of residences in the city of Paris in 2011
was 1,356,074, up from a former high of 1,334,815 in 2006. Among these,
1,165,541 (85.9 percent) were main residences, 91,835 (6.8 percent) were
secondary residences, and the remaining 7.3 percent were empty (down from 9.2
percent in 2006).
Paris urban tissue began to fill and overflow its 1860
limits from around the 1920s, and because of its density, it has seen few
modern constructions since then. Sixty-two percent of its buildings date from
1949 and before, 20 percent were built between 1949 and 1974, and only 18
percent of the buildings remaining were built after that date.
Two-thirds of the city's 1.3 million residences are studio
and two-room apartments. Paris averages 1.9 people per residence, a number that
has remained constant since the 1980s, but it is much less than Île-de-France's
2.33 person-per-residence average. Only 33 percent of principal-residence
Parisians own their habitation (against 47 percent for the entire
Île-de-France): the major part of the city's population is a rent-paying one.
Social housing represents a little more than 17 percent of
the city's total residences, but these are rather unevenly distributed
throughout the capital: the vast majority of these are concentrated in a
crescent formed by Paris's south-western to northern periphery arrondissements.
In 2012 the Paris agglomeration (urban area) counted 28,800
people without a fixed residence, an increase of 84 percent since 2001; it
represents 43 percent of the homeless in all of France. Forty-one percent were
women, and 29 percent were accompanied by children. Fifty-six percent of the
homeless were born outside of France, the largest number coming from Africa and
Eastern Europe. The city of Paris has sixty homeless shelters, called Centres
d'hébergement et de réinsertion sociale or CHRS, which are funded by
the city and operated by private charities and associations.
