Statistics for gender distribution of street names in arrondissements

Statistics from the Name Project for gender distribution on streets in the arrondissement. Each person is counted only once within an arrondissement, even if multiple street names refer to the same person. Click on an arrondissement name to see the people in the arrondissement with streets associated.

More than 5.000 streets in Paris have registered etymology. Not all streets are included yet, and the project is still under development, based on voluntary work.

The sum for all arrondissements is higher than the total for All arrondissements, as duplicates (same people appearing in multiple arrondissements) are only counted once in the total.

Over 5,000 streets in Paris are registrered. This extract only fetches roads and not e.g. buildings statues, parks, etc.

The project is developed by Peter Brodersen. This extract for arrondissements can be downloaded as JSON file. If you have questions about the project, feel free to send an email.
