Median age of the 3,798 compared French towns
■ Écouis 45. The median compared French town: 44.
There is little gap on residents aged 15 to 24: 11%, about the same as in the typical compared French town.
Women and men · all residents
54% women, 46% men

A household is everyone who shares a main home (résidence principale). Household types come from INSEE’s fuller sample of a quarter of census forms.
Against the Eure median and the France median

A household here holds 2.4 people on average. Few places have so few single-parent households: 7.7% here, fewer than in 83% of compared French towns.

Compared with 35% in the typical compared French town, 31% of households are one person living alone here.
8.2% of homes are flats, fewer than in 90% of compared French towns

Cars per household · share of households
Recent arrivals (under two years) make up 6.4% of households; long-stayers (30 years or more) 23%. On second homes, Écouis sits higher than nearly two thirds of compared French towns: 3.4%. Without a car: one household in 16, against 11% in the median compared French town.
A median of €24,170 a year per consumption unit

Per consumption unit, half of residents live on more than €24,170 a year: lower than in 69% of compared French towns.
23% of households are headed by a manual worker, more than in 92% of compared French towns
Households by the socio-professional group (PCS) of their reference person, INSEE’s own categories. Jobs and commuting are on the Work & commute page.
Households by reference person’s group · share of households
Compared with 9.4% in the typical compared French town, 7.7% of households are headed by a manager or professional here. For households headed by a manual worker, the comparison in the typical compared French town is 14%. Locally, 32% of households are headed by a retired person.
Each household is counted once, by the occupation of its reference person (usually the oldest working adult).
4.4% of residents are immigrants, fewer than in 69% of compared French towns
INSEE publishes two measures, which overlap but aren’t the same. Neither is the UK’s “born abroad”.
Share of residents · census 2023
Immigrant (immigré)
Born abroad, not French at birth. Someone stays an immigrant after becoming French. A French citizen born abroad (for example in Algeria before 1962) is not one.
Foreign national (étranger)
Not a French citizen today, wherever born. A child born in France to foreign parents can be a foreign national without being an immigrant.
With foreign nationals at 2.7%, Écouis is behind 70% of compared French towns on that count. Elsewhere, 6.5% of residents are immigrants in the typical compared French town.
INSEE publishes no country of birth or ethnicity by commune in these tables, and the census doesn’t ask about religion.
A smaller share of married residents than 82% of compared French towns: 37%
Residents 15 and over by how they live: the census asks both the legal status and whether people live as a couple.
Residents 15 and over · share
The census found that 25% of residents 15 and over are single in Écouis. For married residents, the comparison in the typical compared French town is 43%.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Census 2023. INSEE’s census is a rolling survey: a fifth of small communes each year, 8% of homes in large ones each year. “2023” pools the surveys of 2021 to 2025, so the figures describe the town around 2023, not on one day.
- Medians of compared communes. The comparisons are the median of the département’s compared communes and of France’s (those with an overall grade), each figure its own median: not the total for the département or for France, which large cities pull towards their own figures.
- Immigrants and foreign nationals. INSEE’s two measures: an immigrant was born abroad without French nationality; a foreign national isn’t French today. Neither is a count of people born abroad, which INSEE doesn’t publish by commune.
- Second homes. Homes used for holidays or weekends, with occasional dwellings (kept for work, for example), which INSEE counts together. Their owners are counted where they live, not here.
- Standard of living. INSEE’s Filosofi: disposable income per consumption unit, from tax and benefit files, 2023. The poverty rate is the share of residents below 60% of France’s median. Not published for the smallest communes.
- What France doesn’t ask. The French census asks nothing about ethnicity, religion, language or health, so this page has no such section.
