COVID-19 Testing, Incidence, and Vaccination Rates for 22 French Metropolitan Areas

Luka Canton published a dataset on figshare in May 2026 containing COVID-19 metrics for metropolitan France. The data includes testing and incidence rates, median EDI values for the most deprived profile, and median vaccination rates across 22 metropolitan areas, broken down by epidemic wave. The dataset is a 30 KB XLSX file available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between deprivation (EDI) and COVID-19 incidence rates across French metropolitan areas.
• Compare vaccination rates across different epidemic waves for the 22 metropolitan areas.
• Study the relationship between testing rates and reported incidence in different geographic regions.

Strengths

• Covers all 22 metropolitan areas in France, providing a complete national picture.
• Includes multiple key pandemic metrics: testing rates, incidence rates, deprivation index (EDI), and vaccination rates.
• Data is structured by epidemic wave, allowing for temporal analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
