"The data is based on residency permits, so does not include EU citizens, who do not require a permit in order to live in France. The data shows that the largest groups of non-EU foreigners are Algerians (14.7 percent of the non-French population), Moroccans (13.9 percent), Tunisians (7 percent) - this continues a trend seen for many years. Following them are Turks (5.2 percent) and Brits, who now make up 3.9 percent of the residency permit holders in France."
"Brits who were living in France prior to Brexit benefited from a special fast-track process for a residency card that allowed them to continue living here, but those who moved after January 1st 2021 have to go through the standard procedure for non-EU nationals of first getting a visa and then a residency permit. Residency cards issued by type - the blue spike in 'other' types represents Brits in France getting the post-Brexit residency"
Annual French government residency-permit data shows British nationals are the fifth largest group of non-EU permit holders in France at 3.9 percent. The largest non-EU groups remain Algerians (14.7 percent), Moroccans (13.9 percent), Tunisians (7 percent) and Turks (5.2 percent). The figure for Brits includes roughly 150,000 people who received a special post-Brexit residency permit in 2020–2021 plus about 30,000 who moved since Brexit. Interior Ministry records list 172,312 British nationals currently living in France, likely an under-estimate because it excludes dual EU nationals and those who acquired French citizenship.
