Suburbs of Paris and Brussels

[reboun]

It might be an ignorant question but why would suburbs of Paris and Brussels consist of 40% of outliers?

Which population consists of 40% of outliers? Suburbs or Paris and Brussels, you mean?

She wrote suburbs or Paris and Brussels but I guess “or” should have been “of”.

There is no Wikipedia in TR.

I think they mean 40% of immigrants and ethnic minorities.

40% is too low especially for Brussels where it reaches 80%

France and Belgium have failed. Indeed Africa starts at the Pyrinees.

I thought urban population would have more immigrants than suburbs. Isn’t it correct? Do suburbs of Paris and Brussels really have that much of immigrants?

Unlike in British and American cities (although in those it is changing too due to gentrification), in French cities the wealthy tend to live closer to the city centre in order to be closer to all their cultural attractions and amenities, in effect dumping immigrants and the poor in the outer suburbs.

In Belgium, most foreigners live in urban areas yes but in France and especially Paris, foreigners mostly live around it in what they call "banlieues".

And I don't have any stats regarding the number of foreigners in Paris since ethnic stats are banned in France (we still know that 70% of newborns in Paris have the genetic sickle cell disease which is typically a non-european disease mostly found among africans). As for Brussels, yes it reaches almost 80 % (mostly moroccans, blacks, turks, etc ) :

Yeah but in Brussels' case, aren't many of those foreigners EU (or rather EC) employees of various sorts?
