French Demographic Maps

[ObserverIE]

"agglomeree" meant all those people who lived in the "chef-lieu" of the commune (the village's core) while "eparse" meant all those who lived outside the chef-lieu.

Stuff like this is 'eparse'; stuff like this is agglomerated. Not that there aren't differences; the bocage is way different from the Limousin.

The equivalent terms in English would be nucleated (agglomérée) and dispersed (éparse) settlement.
