The quartiers populaires are the audience the design is built around. The 2014 charter asks for particular attention to their residents and to young people; from 2016 the City reserves money for them, labels their projects, funds local associations to help residents write and defend projects, lets a labelled project win over a better-voted one until the reserve is used, and since 2021 guarantees winners in some arrondissements. The audit finds the audience reached at the two central steps, but unevenly: residents of these quartiers were 18% of voters in 2019, in line with their 16.5% of the population, and voted 7% against 5.9% overall, mostly on paper; but they were only 15% of idea proposers in 2019, down from 20% in 2016, with collectives rather than individuals carrying the deposits, and the City paid for associations' outreach partly because of this. The City also reports the money landing there (34% of 768 million by 2024). Verification rests on where ballot boxes and addresses are, not on who people are: no socio-professional data were collected, for data-protection reasons, despite a 2018 council vœu, and the 2019 participant survey found a public of employed graduates and home-owners. Brahimllari concludes that the territorial approach reaches the quartiers rather than their most vulnerable residents, and that gentrified quartiers capture more winners than peripheral ones. Young people are the second named audience: no minimum voting age until 7 was set in 2023, a youth label from 2019, and a separate PB in primary schools and collèges since 2016 with 10 million euros a year, reaching 95% of schools and 87% of collèges by 2019; among online voters, under-15s were 1% and under-24s under-represented. Residents without French nationality can propose and vote, a deliberate opening beyond the electoral roll that the 17e opposition questioned in 2021; no reason is stated and no reach is measured. A disability label and an accessibility theme marked the 2019 edition.
