Why this is useful
Sizing a market in France almost always comes down to one question: how many people live where I sell? This Actor answers it for any set of communes, departments or postal codes, and returns the aggregate (total population, median, average density) as a summary record.
Typical uses:
- sizing a local market before opening or expanding
- weighting a prospect list by population (pair it with the SIRENE Actors)
- building a pricing grid by commune size
- enriching a CRM with population and density per postcode
What you get per commune
- INSEE code, name
- population (INSEE municipal population)
- area in km², density in inhabitants per km² (computed)
- postal code(s), department, region
- EPCI (intermunicipality) code and name
- centre latitude and longitude
Plus a summary record: number of communes, total population, median population, total area, average density.

Notes on the data
- Source: the official French administrative API (Etalab), which republishes INSEE municipal population.
- The API response carries no vintage year. If the exact vintage matters for your use case, check the date on insee.fr: the figures are the latest municipal population published, but this Actor cannot assert which year.
surfaceis provided in hectares by the source and converted to km² here (a common source of 100× errors when consumers do it themselves).- Population filtering is done inside the Actor: the upstream API silently
ignores its own
minPopulationparameter.
