I'm surprised, and so my statement above is wrong as more people in Paris are born outside of it, I would have thought it was more than 50%
- makeitdouble 2y agoTIL That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the greater Paris (basically the extent of where the RER goes) had more natives moving in that sphere for most of their lives.
- Timshel 2y agoWhat I find more interesting is how it changed through time, managed to find some numbers for the old department of the Seine : - 1861: 57% born outside of it, 1872: 64%, 1881: 62.9%, 1901: 57.4%. So the fact that most Parisian has been born outside of it is not exactly new. What probably changed is the part coming from outside of France. But it's not exactly as if Paris was not described as Cosmopolitan since at least a century so not sure how that would be bad.
