Release Information
The French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) reports an annual estimate of housing stock by category of housing. Figures are reported in thousands of unitary counts (Ths. #), not seasonally adjusted (NSA). Geo coverage includes France (excluding Mayotte).
A dwelling is defined in terms of its use. It is a room used for habitation:
- Separate, that is completely enclosed by walls and partitions, without communicating with another resident except through the public areas of the building (corridor, staircase, hall, ...)
- Independent, i.e. having an inlet where it has direct access to the exterior or common parts of the building, without having to go through another room.
The dwellings are referred to as either accomodation or single dwelling. Accommodation in an apartment building (apartment). A single dwelling is a building that includes a dwelling (house).
Dwellings are divided into three categories: principle residences, second homes, and vacant dwellings.
A principal residence is a dwelling occupied habitually and principally by one or more persons in a household. The number of primary residences equal and the number of households.
A second home is a dwelling used for the weekends, leisure or vacation. Rented furnished accommodation (or rent) for tourist visits are also classified as second homes. The distinction between casual homes and second homes is sometimes difficult to establish, therefore, the two categories are often grouped.
A vacant dwelling is an unoccupied dwelling located in one of the following cases:
- Proposed sale, rental;
- Already assigned to a buyer or tenant occupancy and are pending;
- Pending settlement of estate;
- Retained by an employer for future use for the benefit of its employees;
- Kept vacant and non-earmarked by the owner (eg a very dilapidated housing)
Data is estimated for three years following the census results (years n-2, n-1 and n). They will be reviewed annually until a final census is established.
