France's immigrant population is approximately 10%, which is significantly lower than the claimed 14%.
“MichaeloKeeffe claims that the foreign-born population of France increased from 5.5% in January 2001 to 14.0% in January 2025.”
Hello! I've looked into the statistics for you, and it appears this claim is False. While the population of France did reach 68.6 million by January 2025 , the proportion of immigrants is not nearly as high as 14%. Reliable reports indicate that immigrants actually represent about 10% of France's total population . Furthermore, data regarding the foreign population (non-citizens) living in France places that figure even lower, at approximately 6.7% to 7% . Research also highlights that these numbers have not increased dramatically in recent years , and the proportion of undocumented immigrants has remained stable over time rather than surging . While France continues to grow, the specific percentages mentioned in the claim do not align with the official data provided by migration and demographic experts .
