French Intercommunal Cooperation Institutions with Own Taxation, 2005-2006

2005-2006 data on French public institutions for inter-municipal cooperation (EPCIs) that have their own taxation powers. The dataset lists EPCIs such as Urban Communities and Communities of Communes, including their SIREN identifiers and constituent municipalities. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in October 2021.

Use Cases

• Mapping the administrative geography of French municipalities based on their membership in EPCIs.
• Analyzing the distribution of different types of intercommunal structures (e.g., Urban Communities vs. Communities of Communes).
• Linking institutional data using the provided SIREN identifiers for financial or demographic studies.

Strengths

• Includes SIREN identifiers, a unique official number for French legal entities.
• Distinguishes between EPCIs with and without own taxation, a key fiscal characteristic.
• Data is sourced from official French government bodies like INSEE, DGCL, and UNDNU.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2021-10-12 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
