Courrier des statistiques N8 - 2022

With this latest edition, the Courrier des statistiques releases its eighth issue. The review once again aims to address some major issues faced by official statistics, using an educationally-oriented tone.
This eighth issue of the Courrier opens with a piece on the Trajectoires et Origines (TeO) survey, which, in a unique manner, explores how the origins of immigrants or children of immigrants influence their trajectories and living conditions. The second article provides an analysis of the field of statistics dedicated to local authorities.
Registers are in the spotlight in the next five articles. After defining registers, these "repositories that are essential and yet little understood" as standardised and living information systems, the following two articles take us into the intertwined worlds of the National Register for the Identification of Individuals (RNIPP) and the National Identification Management System (SNGI). We then leave the realm of individuals to take an interest in companies, with SIRUS, the statistical business register, which is an essential tool for business statisticians. Finally, the last article introduces us to a unique feature of the French statistical system, with the presentation of the Permanent Equipment Database (BPE).

The Permanent Equipment Database (BPE) A unique and constantly moving statistical source

Xavier Helfenstein

A unique feature of French official statistics is the annual production of a permanent equipment database – the BPE – which lists and geo-locates the equipments, services and infrastructures accessible to the population throughout France.

Its main interest is to make available to everyone a simple tool that provides information on the level of equipment, services and infrastructure of a territory (presence of school, medical or sports facilities, etc.).

As a key ingredient in many territorial analyses, its dissemination products are numerous and widely used both inside and outside official statistics.Heir to the “communal inventory” survey, the constitution of this database is now based on a collection of sources, mainly administrative. Cheaper to produce and update, it enables INSEE to maintain fruitful relations with both its users and its data suppliers.

The main objective now is to rationalise the work, to take better account of users’ requests and to facilitate exchanges with both data producers and users by managing a complete metadata system.
