France does not publish an official 2025 percentage for “Black” population, because French statistics generally do not collect race-based ethnicity data in the same way some other countries do. A widely circulated estimate says about 8.43% of France’s population is Black, but that figure is not an official government count and is typically presented as a rough estimate based on older or indirect sources.

What that means

  • There is no single official 2025 number.
  • Any exact percentage you see online is usually an estimate , not a census result.
  • The most commonly repeated estimate I found is 8.43%.

Important caution

That estimate should be treated carefully because it depends on methodology, definitions, and source quality. France’s population was about 66.65 million in 2025 according to one demographic source, but that source does not break out race or ethnicity.

Simple answer

If you want the shortest possible answer: roughly 8.4% by estimate, but no official 2025 figure exists.
