Spatial comparison survey on consumer price levels within France 2015
Présentation statistique
Data description
Price level differences are calculated for different consumption baskets, in particular
those of the overseas departments and the metropolitan territory to measure the impact
of different consumption patterns between territories.
As far as field observations are concerned, the survey is based as much as possible
on the surveys carried out for the CPI, but the reconciliation of products between
territories requires additional specific field surveys.
The comparison is made between:
- the metropolitan territory and the overseas departments,
- Corsica and other metropolitan territories,
- Ile de France and other metropolitan territories.
