As the obligations of "open data by default" for local authorities, as provided for in the law for a digital Republic, came into force on 7 October, the OpendataFrance association presented a new report on territorial open data.
As of October 2018, 343 local authorities have committed to opening their public data (they were 257 in March 2018), including 297 of the 4510 local authorities concerned (local authorities with at least 3500 inhabitants and 50 agents): 6.6%.
46 municipalities with fewer than 3,500 inhabitants and 50 employees have also undertaken this type of approach.

- The opening concerns, in the first place, the metropolises and large cities and 12 of the 18 regions of metropolitan France.
- To date, 47% of the departments have taken steps to open up the system, 6.7% of the inter-municipalities and 4.9% of the municipalities.
- 91 different platforms are used (in addition to data.gouv.fr and excluding regional geographic data platforms), all of which hinder standardization, interoperability, or even the understanding of data, since each or almost each platform adopts its own approach.
- The small communities that have recently opened their data have done so, most often, with the support of a "higher" level player - metropolis, department or region: awareness-raising, training, support, hosting.
- One third of communities have opened no more than 3 datasets.
- The most commonly published data are those related to transport, infrastructure (roads, buildings, green spaces, etc.) and budgets (administrative accounts, public contracts, subsidies, etc.). 7% of the data concern housing and urban planning.
