Data batch direct download service (WFS): Rural revitalisation areas for the Charente-Maritime department (perimeters and municipalities)

Rural Revitalisation Areas (RZs) are designed to assist the development of rural territories mainly through fiscal and social measures.
Specific measures for economic development shall apply. The aim is to concentrate state aid measures for job-creating enterprises in the less populated rural areas most affected by demographic and economic decline.
They were created by the Law of Orientation for the Planning and Development of the Territory (LOADT) of 4 February 1995.

The reform of the ZRRs, passed in the amending finance law for 2015 (Article 1465A of the General Tax Code), simplified the criteria for classifying the territories taken into account. The criteria are now examined at inter-municipal level and result in the ranking of all EPCI municipalities.
To be classified as a RRA as of July 1, 2017, the EPCI must have both:
— a population density of less than or equal to the median of densities per EPCI;
— tax income per median consumption unit less than or equal to the median of median tax revenues.
For the DOMs, the municipalities classified as ZRR are defined by law.

The Order of 22 February 2018 defines the new contours of the 2018 RRAs by incorporating the following changes compared to 2017:
— outgoing municipalities in 2017 are reinstated.
