Note Note: Data published by the Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques (INSEE) are five-year averages. That is, the value of entries in 2013 is, in fact, the average of the calculated values, by sampling, for the years of 2011 to 2015. It is a methodology that aims to minimize sample errors and not build a series marked by apparent systematic variations due, in most cases, to those same errors.
