This cartographic atlas provides an overview of the rentable social housing stock in Paris today and how it has evolved over the past 20 years.
On 1st January 2019, Paris had just over 250,000 social rental units in compliance within the SRU law, that is 21.4% of main residences. This percentage was 13.4% on 1st January 2001: the number of SRU dwellings had therefore increased from 154,314 to 250,618, an increase of almost 100,000 units in less than 20 years (+ 62% of housing units in 2019 compared with 2001).
Several data sources were mobilised in the study and mapped: the inventory of social housing as defined by the SRU Law on 1st January 2019 (an inventory per building), the Social rental housing stock Directory (a file per dwelling), and the social housing approvals granted since 2001 (a file per funded operation).
This cartographic inventory comes almost 20 years after the first SRU inventory of 2001, at a time when the Paris Local Urban Plan (PLU) was launched as well as when the Metropolitan housing and accommodation Plan (PMHH) was being re-examined while simultaneously there was re-thinking about the regulatory provisions favouring the production of social housing on the Parisian and Metropolitan territory.
