IRIS... GE — Occitanie

Co-edition INSEE and IGN, IRIS... GE (or “Grouped Islots for Great Scale Statistical Information”) is a digitised fund of IRIS defined by INSEE for the purposes of censuses of all municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants and most municipalities with 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants. IRIS... GE allows the link between the cartographic data and the statistical data of INSEE. These data have been recalibrated to elements of the TOPO® BD: administrative boundaries, road, rail and hydrographic networks. The location accuracy is metric. Watch out! IRIS... GE does not contain any of INSEE’s statistical data, but only allows the mapping of these data via IRIS numbers. There are three types of IRIS: \- Habitat IRIS: their population is generally between 1,800 and 5,000 inhabitants. They are homogeneous in the type of habitat and their boundaries are based on major cuts in the urban fabric (main roads, railways, rivers, etc.). \- Activity IRIS: they have more than 1,000 employees and have at least twice as many salaried jobs as the resident population. \- Miscellaneous IRIS: these are large specific areas that are little inhabited and have a large area (recreation parks, port areas, forests, etc.). In order to cover the entire territory, each of the municipalities not divided into IRIS is treated as an IRIS. OPenIG makes the IRIS contours available in shapefile format... GE: \- by department for each of the 13 departments of Occitania: Ariège (09), Aude (11), Aveyron (12), Gard (30), Haute-Garonne (31), Gers (32), Hérault (34), Lot (46), Lozère (48), Hautes-Pyrénées (65), Pyrénées-Orientales (66), Tarn (81), Tarn-et-Garonne (82); \- for the Occitania region. Associated documentation is also made available.
