Dataset description

The dataset shall make available all the databases of the population census: aggregate statistics and anonymised detail files. The population census makes it possible to know the diversity and evolution of the population of France. INSEE provides statistics on inhabitants and housing, their number and characteristics:distribution by sex and age, occupations, diplomas and training, housing conditions, modes of transport, commuting to work, etc. Databases of synthetic indicators, detailed tables, sub-communal data, and mobility flows: the data are available at the various geographical levels from communal to national, and up to Iris for sub-municipal bases. They are downloadable in xls and/or txt formats. Anonymised details files: they aim to provide informed professional users (public bodies, local authorities, large companies, design and consultancy offices, researchers, etc.) with the opportunity for personalised use of population census data. Indeed, these files make it possible to carry out exploratory analyses of data, to model behaviors, or simply to tabulate on a particular subpopulation defined according to certain criteria: belonging to a geographical area and/or statistical unit with certain characteristics. They are downloadable in Dbase, Beyond 20/20 and/or txt formats. More information on the content of these databases and associated documentation can be found in the URL of the dataset (on the INSEE website).

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
