Overview

• The CSA survey for Europe 1, CNews and Le Journal du Dimanche released on September 24 reports 77% support for giving priority in HLM to French nationals.
• Support varies sharply by politics, with 98% of Rassemblement National voters in favor, 90% among Les Républicains, 67% in the presidential majority, and lower levels among ecologists and socialists.
• The poll sampled a nationally representative panel of 1,010 adults using quota methods and shows consistently high backing across age groups and socio‑professional categories.
• France’s HLM system faces roughly 2.87 million applicants while annual tenant turnover remains below 7%, a low mobility pattern linked in reports to multi‑generational retention and financial incentives.
• Observatory data cited in coverage indicate about 35% of immigrants live in social housing and roughly 40% of HLM are occupied by immigrants or their direct descendants, with disparities such as 57% for Sahel‑origin immigrants versus 8% for Chinese immigrants.
