Re : Coron FR (France) - discrepancy between population of the 2 records P and A ?

There is a discrepancy between population of the 2 features...
In my point of view, Coron is the final NUTS unit and the administrative division and the place would share the same geometry as the admin division. So the population should be the very same ? Or does it mean that 150 persons live in some hamlets ?

Il n'y a pas la même population dans la commune en question, du point de vue de la division administrative ou de l'endroit ? 150 personnes environ dans des hameaux ?
