The municipalities of France, profile by profile

A profile is only published when the public sources allow it: pending municipalities are referenced, never estimated. Coverage varies widely from one area to another.

Share of documented municipalities by region, relative to the total number of municipalities in the region (as recorded on October 14, 2026).

The only ranking these data allow without distorting it is by median household income (INSEE), which is comparable from one municipality to another. The observatory does not publish a ranking of municipalities by price per m²: the municipal median is calculated from too few sales to be compared. The price appears on each profile, with its number of transactions.

Median disposable household income per consumption unit (INSEE Filosofi), municipalities with 5,000 or more inhabitants among the 34,920 documented.

The forty most populous municipalities. A filled dot marks a documented profile; a hollow dot, a referenced municipality whose indicators have yet to be consolidated.

Counts based on the observatory's municipality index; the arrondissements of Paris, Lyon and Marseille each count as one entry.
