Notes

  1. Calculated, when available, from the latest national censuses or most recent official estimates (many of which are cited in their respective column), using the exponential formula shown on the List of countries by past and future population article. This is done to normalize the different populations to a unique date, so that they are really comparable.
  2. It corresponds to the following formula: projection2015/projection2014x100-100.
  3. It corresponds to the calculation: projection2015*annual_growth/100.
  4. It corresponds to the formula: LN(2)/LN(growth/100+1), which produces exactly the same result as LOG10(2)/LOG10(growth/100+1).
  5. It not only refers to the population of European or Metropolitan France, but it aso includes the overseas departments (in French, (Départements d'outre-mer, DOM), which are French Guiana (Guyane): 239,648, Guadeloupe: 403,314, Martinique: 388,364 and Réunion: 833,944[1]. The overseas collectivities (Collectivités d'outre-mer, COM) are also included: French Polynesia (Polynésie française): 274,217[2], New Caledonia (Nouvelle-Calédonie): 320,595[3], Saint-Barthélemy: 9,269[4], Saint Martin: 36,522[5], Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon): 6,299[6], Wallis and Futuna (Wallis-et-Futuna): 12,867[7] and Mayotte: 217,091[8] the combined population of the overseas department and collectivities is 2,742,000 with the population of metropolitan France 64,386,000 [9] the total population of France stood at 67,128,000.
