French Census 2006

[Hash]

Insee will release the results of the 2006 census throughout the year, starting in July 2009.

Insee has a schedule here.

As a goodie, Geoclip has updated its interactive map interface with 2006 populations of every commune (for now). It still has 1999 and 1990 populations.

Population: 63 185 925 up from 60 185 831 in 1999.

Only Champagne-Ardennes has a decline in population, -0.26%. Corse has +13.04% and Languedoc-Roussillon has +10.39%.

There are 2 181 371 Parisians. That's 2 181 371 too much.

64 621 007 that is (incl. Overseas Departements) and 62 809 976 without.

But really don't know what the difference between "Municipale" and "Totale" is ...

Total population is the sum of municipal population and people counted in two or more communes (people who reside in one commune, but still hold residence in another one).

Ahh, ok. I prefer the number incl. the main residence then: 63 185 925

Is the 1999 number the "main residence" one or the "secondary residence" number ?

Probably main residence, but maybe you know better ...

The 1999 number is municipal population and not total population.

Geoclip uses total population, btw.

For reference, this is the population by department in 1999 and 2006.

And a lot more stuff from Insee which I'll post later and that is available on their interwebs site.
