Question 18066 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Cazenove draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the problem of the census methods used by INSEE encountered by municipalities with strong demographic growth. Law No. 2002-276 of February 27, 2002 relating to local democracy introduced a renovated census procedure based, for municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants, on an exhaustive survey at the rate of one fifth municipalities each year and thus making it possible to provide an updated legal population each year. However, the legal populations come into force 3 years after the reference year, thus representing a lag of 3 years compared to the situation observed and impact small municipalities for which these figures are decisive in the calculation of grants paid by the State and serve as a reference for questions electoral (voting method, size of municipal councils). Until 2009, additional censuses allowed municipalities experiencing strong growth to update their population figures more quickly, a provision repealed by the 2002 law. Also, he would like to know on the one hand what possibilities could exist to reduce this period so as to have a legal population more in line with the actual reality and on the other hand, whether adjustment measures for municipalities experiencing strong demographic growth could be considered.
