Unlock predictive population density insights for enhanced decision-making
Imagine providing developers with real-time and predictive population density estimates for precise geographic areas, enabling faster, data-driven decisions.
By leveraging historical anonymized data from network-connected devices, the Population Density Data API delivers accurate insights that can sharpen urban planning, marketing strategy, and resource allocation.
Data is aggregated through Flux Vision, Orange’s solution for analyzing population movement. Flux Vision counts and aggregates mobile devices based on observed properties and behaviors, using signaling events exchanged with the cellular network. A weighting mechanism ensures the statistics reflect the broader population, not just Orange subscribers. The underlying algorithms are designed to protect privacy by removing personal data, supporting irreversible anonymization. These proprietary methods are developed with rigorous research and align with CNIL and GDPR recommendations.

Frequently-Asked Questions
The algorithms used by Flux Vision permanently guarantee irreversible anonymization by deleting all personal data and making it impossible to identify a natural person, as well as to re-identify them directly or indirectly.
These exclusive algorithms, developed by Orange researchers, are the fruit of several years’ research and comply with the recommendations of the French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés – CNIL), recognized as one of the most protective bodies in the world, to whom they were presented during the design of Flux Vision and before its launch. In fact, the technical data processed as part of Flux Vision are not considered personal data and are therefore not subject to the GDPR.
Flux Vision is a service designed to provide statistical indicators for analyzing the presence, movements and socio-demographic profiles of people in one or more specific geographical areas. It can be used for a wide range of applications: studying people’s movements, analyzing tourist numbers in a town/region or at a sporting/cultural event, analyzing footfall in a shopping area or determining catchment areas. The solution provides access to innovative, permanently available, guaranteed and secure information on very large sample volumes, without the need to deploy equipment in the field.
Flux Vision has collected a long history of anonymous statistics on the covered territory. By the use of Data Science techniques, predicted density is calculated based on this long history of data and recent trend. Maximum and Minimum values provided as part of API output, are calculated based on observation data from past history.
Observation of data is made at the lowest administrative resolution available (IRIS level for France). Using Flux Vision’s statistical models and considering building density on the observed area, data is distributed at geohash7 level.
