The accumulation of the results of a cycle of 5 annual census surveys makes it possible to cover the entire territory and produce “legal” population figures, in the sense that they are published by decree. The reference year is therefore the middle year of the cycle. The population census figure published on 1 January 2024 thus on 1 January 2021, calculated by combining the annual census surveys from 2019 to 2023.

Municipalities have a legal obligation to conduct the annual census survey (Légifrance, 2002). Beyond this obligation, it is in the municipalities' interest to carry out the collection correctly since calculated population levels are derived from budgetary allocations. On the municipal side, a municipal coordinator is appointed and is responsible for monitoring census chinese overseas europe database collection in their municipality. On the INSEE side, supervisors are appointed to act as a link between INSEE and the municipality and ensure that collection operations are carried out correctly.

In the overseas departments and regions (DROM), prior to the collection, another operation called a cartographic survey is carried out. This aims to update the Localized Buildings Directory (RIL) in municipalities with 10,000 inhabitants or more. This is a comprehensive and localized housing database, which is essential to the quality of the collection: it allows census agents to identify the dwellings to be surveyed within a limited collection time. To prepare for the 2024 annual census survey, the cartographic survey was carried out between May and August 2023.
