17.1. Data revision - policy

Data are first provisionnal and then definitive

Population estimates are produced with data on births and deaths (definitive or estimations) and estimations of net migration and adjustment. They are not definitive and revised every year after, until they are definitive.

no revision for immigrants.

revision for emigrants : same as population

revision for acquisition of nationality N in N+1
17.2. Data revision - practice

No revision for immigrants, revision for emigrants : same as population

Revision for acquisition of nationality N in N+1

Live births : First estimates of births registered in year N are disseminated in january N+1. They are usually revised 9 months later and data are considered as definitive.

Deaths : First estimates of deaths registered in year N are disseminated in january N+1. They are revised 11 months later and data are considered then as definitive.

Population : The definitive total population is given by the census. Population on 1st January N is published in January N + 3 (except for Mayotte). Population estimates are produced for other years with data on births and deaths (definitive or estimations) and estimations of net migration and adjustment. Adjustment is provisionnal.

For Mayotte, the definitive total population is given by the census. Population is revised every 5 years. Last revision in 2017.

Please report on the data sources used for the first reference year and inform of any changes thereto, to produce:
Population Live births Deaths Immigrants Emigrants
 census  civil status  civil status    
18.2. Frequency of data collection

Annual statistical productions
18.3. Data collection

Civil status : data validation on summer N+1, publications on fall N+1. Estimations updated each year.

Population : definitive for january 1st N-2. Updated each year.

Emigrants : definitive for january 1st N-2. Updated each year.
18.4. Data validation

Civil status: annual validation

Census: annual validation
18.5. Data compilation

Data collection, coding, validation and imputation if needed.
18.6. Adjustment

Due to an improvment in the questionnary, population data in 2016 (and after) are not comparable to previous population data. An adjustment has been introduced to allow time comparison.

Adjustment is provisionally estimated at national level to :  -65330 in 2015 ;  -82982 in 2016 ; -100263 in 2017 ; -83625 in 2018 ; -83893 in 2019 ; -34038 in 2020 ; -34000 in 2021; -17000 in 2022.

Differences in the field for France : Data published by INSEE do not take into account data of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthelemy islands, which are not included in Guadeloupe any more since 2007.

All data before 2013 (2012 and before) submitted to Eurostat contains France metropolitan, four French overseas departments (Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Reunion) including Saint Martin and and Saint Barthelemy in Guadeloupe.

All data after 2012 (2013 and after) submitted to Eurostat contains France metropolitan, four French overseas departments (Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Reunion) including Saint Martin in Guadeloupe.

Statistics of population include Mayotte since 31 December 2013. As the population on 31 December 2012 does not include this island, an other adjustment is therefore needed. The adjustment in 2013 is equal to the population on Mayotte estimated on 31 Décember 2012.
