Geocoded data from the census of licences and clubs from sports federations approved by the Ministry responsible for sports

The annual inventory of licences from sports federations approved by the Ministry responsible for sports makes it possible to measure the level and evolution over time of supervised sports practice. These statistics shed light on public policies for the development of sport, both at national and territorial level.
This is a census at the person's place of residence and not at the place of practice.

The data from the census are then geocoded by INSEE for metropolis + DROM (excluding Mayotte), in order to be able to communicate these files at the municipal level.

Data are not available for all federations. A number of them did not have fully geolocatable data to the municipality allowing exhaustive exploitation.
The geocoded data have therefore been processed in order to be able to provide a estimate of the number of licences per municipality and federation.

The data for vintage N correspond to season N-1/N or calendar year N depending on the functioning of the federations (e.g. lic-data-2021 is a distribution of licenses for the 2020/2021 season or the year 2021).

The 2019 data have been revised (2nd geocoding operation required).

From 2019, some changes have been made in the files transmitted:

-Common precision level-QPV and no longer common
-Age steps of the licence census and not of the five-year census
-Population data not included in the file
-Distinction of out-of-field data (Mayotte, Monaco, COM, Foreign) vs. undistributed data
-Data for the municipalities of Mayotte not included (excluding geocoding)
-Addition of licenses not distributed in the file (sum of licenses corresponds to the result of the census)
-The distribution for 3 federations is limited to the department level (FF Maccabi, FS of the National Police, F of the defense clubs)
