We study barycenters in the Wasserstein space Pp(E) of a locally compact geodesic space (E, d). In this framework, we define the barycenter of a measure ℙ on Pp(E) as its Fréchet mean. The paper establishes its existence and states consistency with respect to ℙ. We thus extends previous results on ℝ d , with conditions on ℙ or on the sequence converging to ℙ for consistency.
