Alongside employment and citizenship, access to housing is a key factor of immigrant integration. Yet the spatial concentration of immigrants and their descendants in certain types of housing - public housing in particular - and in certain neighbourhoods, may lead to spatial segregation. Drawing on data from the Trajectories and Origins survey (TeO) Haley McAvay focuses on the residential integration of immigrants in France. She reveals the mechanisms underlying disparities in housing tenure and analyses the probability of living in a residential area with a high concentration of immigrants by country of origin and immigrant generation. © I.N.E.D.
