Immigration

Place of birth of residents of Sevran in 1999

Born in metropolitan France	Born outside metropolitan France
71.3%	28.7%
	Born in overseas France	Born in foreign countries with French citizenship at birth1	EU-15 immigrants2	Non-EU-15 immigrants
	4.5%	2.5%	3.0%	18.7%
1 This group is made up largely of former French settlers, such as Pieds-Noirs in Northwest Africa, followed by former colonial citizens who had French citizenship at birth (such as was often the case for the native elite in French colonies), as well as to a lesser extent foreign-born children of French expatriates. Note that a foreign country is understood as a country not part of France in 1999, so a person born for example in 1950 in Algeria, when Algeria was an integral part of France, is nonetheless listed as a person born in a foreign country in French statistics. 2 An immigrant is a person born in a foreign country not having French citizenship at birth. Note that an immigrant may have acquired French citizenship since moving to France, but is still considered an immigrant in French statistics. On the other hand, persons born in France with foreign citizenship (the children of immigrants) are not listed as immigrants.

As of 2013 the origins of over half of its resident are from outside France. The largest ethnic backgrounds within the foreign origins are from sub-Saharan Africa, Algeria, and Morocco.[3]

In 2013 The Economist stated that Sevran was one of the poorest areas of the Paris Metropolitan Area. As of 2013 36% of the residents are considered to be below the poverty line. The national average is 12%. About 75% of Sevran's residents live in subsidized housing. The article also cites research that says "somebody called Mohamed, Ali or Kamel is four times more likely to be unemployed than somebody named Philippe or Alain."[3]

Culture

Sevran is home to an important music and dance school, the Espace François Mauriac, also known as the conservatoire de Sevran.^{[citation needed]} Many important French and international musicians have taught there, including Claude Ballif, Allain Gaussin and Vincent Decleire.^{[citation needed]} The famous French rapper Kaaris is also from Sevran, born to parents from Ivory Coast.^{[citation needed]}

Women are unofficially banned from public spaces by men in some areas of Sevran and will not receive service in bars or cafés. Authorities turn a blind eye as the men support the mayor.[6][7][8][9]
