Use data from INSEE for representing the geographical distribution of income with R.
INSEE's geographical data on income are available under various forms:
- you can represent households' median income at the municipality level. The data are stored here.
- you can also have access to 'squared' data, i.e. the French territory is divided into squares whose side is either 1 km long or 200 m long, and you are provided with information on population and average income inside each square. Depending on the density of population, anonymisation rules may be applied, leading to a fusion between squares. The data are available here.
This project also relies on IGN's data on administrative limits of the French territory, available here.
The scripts developped here automatically downloads the data from the websites, unzipped them in the designated folder and allows to generate maps out of them.
