Evolution of service, Case of Paris

Data

We use “base permanente des équipements”, aggregated over

  • IRIS which are below NUTS third level, equivalent to census units. IRIS are equal to municipalities when populaiton is under 5.000 and can be as small as a block in the center of Paris

  • category of equipement. Categories of equipment are listed there :

cat 2016 2021
Commerces 26194 27228
Enseignement 7444 9290

Scope: Ile de France

We use currently 2 years for comparison. Year 2021 is the last one available (2022 should be published this year, INSEE is a bit late apparently). Comparison with previous years is difficult, due to a change in the data source. Now (starting with 2021 BPE) the source employed distinguish between units with and without economic activity. This reduces the number of active business drastically (460k over the “France métropolotaine” area). However, we have a basis for comparison on a quinquenal time step. Thus, the comparaison is made with 2016.

The geography and definition of IRIS is from the year 2022. Population data is fromthe year 2019. There was a change in anonymity policy from INSEE, reducing the number of IRIS for which population data is disseminated since the year (including) 2020. However changes in population are not so quick and a small gap between BPE data and population is acceptable.
