In 2018, single-family homes accounted for 56% of all dwellings (Source: INSEE): the majority of both primary residences and secondary and occasional homes. After increasing between 1999 and 2008, this proportion is falling slightly, as the number of multi-family homes is increasing faster than that of single-family homes as a result of recent trends in new construction. It should be noted that this is a proportion of dwellings; however, it can be expected (to be verified) that houses contain more people on average than flats, which reinforces the choice of the default value.
