During the period, the high-rise neighbourhood in the southeast of Paris' 13th arrondissement, where the city's "Quartier Asiatique" (Asian Quarter) is located, saw significant population growth. The area contains many Chinese inhabitants predominantly living in high-rise apartments, in addition to large Vietnamese and Laotian communities. Similar to the ethnic Vietnamese population, Chinese refugees from Vietnam who migrated to France on average had a higher level of affluence and are better integrated into the host nation than their peers who migrated to North America or Australia.
