Of the 107,500 dwellings counted, 10% were second homes or occasional-use flats and 12% vacant. Among main residences, 61% were rented, including 16% social housing (Paris: 18%) and 15% furnished. Owner-occupiers made up 34%.

Rent control applies. Check the reference rent with the City of Paris tool and OLAP's market-rent estimates by quartier for early 2026.

Parc Clichy-Batignolles – Martin-Luther-King, at about 10 ha, is the largest park in the arrondissement, with play areas and sports facilities. The Square des Batignolles, the Square Sainte-Odile, the Square des Épinettes and the planted Promenade Bernard-Lafay add further space, and Parc Monceau is just across the boundary in the 8th.

Crèche requests and school enrolment go through the Mairie du 17e. Public schools are allocated by home address.
