Abstract: This paper proposes homogeneous annual series on the income distribution of French metropolitan d partements for the period 1960-69 and 1986-2018. We rely on unpublished and newly digitised archives of the French Ministry of Finance. They consist of fiscal tabulations that are a summary of households income tax declarations. Based on these raw sources, we interpolate the whole income distribution of French metropolitan d partements after 1986. Before 1986, we need more assumptions as only households liable to French income tax filed income tax declarations at that time. We propose a methodology to estimate the number and average income of non-taxable households before 1986 that also allows us to reconstruct the income distribution of French metropolitan d partements for the period 1960-69.
