« VALEUR : fréquence arrondie au multiple de 5 le plus proche ». « La mise en place de cet arrondi, à partir de la diffusion de juillet 2025, est motivée par la variabilité de quelques unités d'une année à l'autre des fréquences et par la mise en œuvre des obligations relatives au secret statistique. » « En raison des arrondis, la somme des effectifs départementaux peut différer des effectifs régionaux ou nationaux. » Every observation is therefore valueStatus=rounded (verified: 0 rows with a count that is not a multiple of 5).
