About France in Numbers
France in Numbers
I built France in Numbers as a public-good project so official economic data feels useful to anyone — not just economists. Allez, les chiffres!
What this project aims to do
Track inflation, jobs, housing, growth, and energy from official European and French sources (Eurostat, INSEE, RTE, data.gouv.fr), then turn them into plain-language explainers with interactive charts and clear sourcing.
How it's built
Open-source scripts pull datasets straight from official APIs — Eurostat for economic indicators, ODRE/eco2mix for real-time electricity, data.gouv.fr for fuel prices. The UI focuses on readable layouts you can trust.
Why it matters
When people understand the numbers behind daily life, conversations about policy, jobs, or prices get calmer and more evidence-based. These numbers belong to everyone — they should feel that way.
