L’évolution de la structure par âge et des revenus et les mouvements migratoires entre 1991 et 2001 : un indicateur de la mutation des quartiers de Bruxelles et de sa périphérie

Abstract

A principal components analysis and a typology of the evolution of the age structure between 1991 and 2001, and an estimation of the migratory balances of the urban districts, allow a survey of the evolution of the socio-demographic structures of Brussels and its suburban area. Suburbanisation is going further, but simultaneously gentrification is strongly in progress. The poorest immigrants remain captive in the deprived districts of the Western part of the central pentagon and the oldest bordering suburbs. However, some immigrants succeed in spreading to outer, mainly Western, urban districts. Due to the level of real estate prices, it is difficult for couples with children to remain inside Brussels-Capital Region, if not for the wealthiest among them.
