Modelled from a baseline for one adult and scaled, not sampled from households. Figures are shown as ranges because that is the honest shape of the data.
Worth knowing. Modelled estimate. Childcare and healthcare are heavily subsidised for residents in the system, which pulls the lower bounds down.
Immigration
Immigration is decided nationally, not by city. Which routes are open to you, what they require and how long they take are all on the France guide.
Worth knowing. Modelled estimates, not survey data.
