What this measures
Residents of France born abroad with foreign nationality at birth, including those who subsequently acquired French nationality.
Calculation
Published INSEE count in thousands × 1,000. No missing values or countries are inferred.
Limitations
INSEE immigrants exclude people born abroad with French nationality at birth. Birthplace is not current citizenship, ethnicity or legal status. Figures are estimates; 2024 and 2025 are provisional. A census collection change creates a break between 2023 and 2024; levels across that break must not be interpreted as comparable growth. The workbook reports counts in thousands (whole thousands in 2022, otherwise up to one decimal); converted to people at its original precision. Published percentages are retained. Nested groups overlap and must not all be summed. Africa outside the Maghreb is neither West Africa nor exactly sub-Saharan Africa.
Keep INSEE immigrants distinct from Eurostat foreign-born people. Never combine overlapping geographic groups or infer West Africa from all Africa. Published rounding can prevent exact reconciliation.
