Hauts-de-France alone concentrates more than a sixth (10,400) of children living in foster families. Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (2700) and Center Val de Loire (3000) regions are those with the fewest.

Only 29% of young people living in host families and aged 18 have a diploma equivalent to or higher than the baccalaureate, compared to 60% of the entire population of the same age.
