===Housing=== Cambrai had 18,112 housing units in 2017, of which 15,925 were occupied as primary residences.<ref name="complet">{{cite web| url = https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/2011101?geo=COM-59122| title = Dossier complet: Commune de Cambrai (59122)| publisher = INSEE| access-date = 2020-09-12}}</ref> The proportion of individual housing is 54.2%. [[Primary residence]]s dominate with 87.9%, and one can especially note the very low proportion of [[holiday cottage|secondary residences]] in Cambrai: 1.0%.<ref name="complet"/> [[File:Lotissement Martin Martine années 1970.JPG|thumb|right|A street of houses in the subdivision "Martin Martine" constructed by the ''Maison Familiale'' group, characteristic habitat of the years 1960–1970]] [[File:Cambrai vieille rue.JPG|thumb|right|Former habitat in the old Cambrai]] The proportion of house owners, at 44.3%, is lower than in the rest of the country (57.5%). The tenants are much more numerous, 54.1% in Cambrai, against little more than 40% in France. Among rental housing, the proportion of [[HLM]] housing, at 16.7%, is significantly higher than the national average of 14.8%.<ref name="complet"/> The age of the accommodation in Cambrai is distinguished from both regional and national averages. Housing is older, on average, in Cambrai than in the rest of the country. The proportion of (pre-1945) "old" housing, is 33.5%, which is significantly higher than the French average of 22.2%. Meanwhile, dwellings built between 1946 and 1970 account for 37.0% of the total in Cambrai, significantly above the 21.5% of the country. This proportion can probably be explained by the necessary reconstruction which followed the destruction of [[World War II]], as well as programmes of Maison Familiale group homes in the 1960s and 1970s. More recent housing is relatively less in the city than in the rest of France or even in the region: 7.3% of accommodation in Cambrai was built between 1991 and 2005, compared with 16.1% in France; 5.2% have been built since 2006, compared with 10.9% in France.<ref name="complet"/> This is probably a consequence of the less dynamic economy and population of the city in recent years. The agglomeration community seeks to improve the quality of the accommodation by various means: Encourage rehabilitation of vacant properties, expand available accommodation which is suitable for elderly or handicapped people, increase the supply of rentals and promote the construction of more energy-efficient housing. The creation of 960 new social houses was provided over six years, from 2008 to 2014.<ref name="CAChabitat">{{cite web|url = http://www.agglo-cambrai.fr/fr/vie-communautaire/habitat.html|title = La politique de l'habitat|work = Communauté d'agglomération de Cambrai|date = 2008|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100603214427/http://www.agglo-cambrai.fr/fr/vie-communautaire/habitat.html|archive-date = 2010-06-03}}</ref> The {{Interlanguage link multi|Urban social cohesion contract|fr|3=Contrat urbain de cohésion sociale}} signed in 2007 with the city and the urban community was the first of the Nord department. Five quarters, not classified as "sensitive urban areas", are concerned: The old centre where old habitat remains, the ''l'Amérique'' and ''La Forêt'' estates, consisting primarily of multi-family housing, and the ''d'Esnes'' and ''de Guise'' estates dominated by single-family housing.<ref name="CAChabitat"/>
