November 1st is All Saint’s Day. Many people go to the cemetery around this day to remember their deceased family members and friends. Therefore, we take a look at the change of death rates in the Centrope region, comparing the change in deaths per 1,000 inhabitants. The map shows a comparison of 2014 and 2024. The fact that there are more variations in certain areas is due to the smaller municipalities found there. Overall, however, these differences are in line with those in the other sub-regions, so there is obviously no spatial correlation with the change in death rates over time.

On the occasion of International Cities Day, celebrated on 31 October, we are taking a look at the development of the unemployment rate (population aged 15 top 64) in cities in the Centrope region. The chart shows a downward trend in the EU average; however, this trend appears to have reversed again over the last two years. It is interesting to note that the COVID-19 slump (2020–2021) was far more pronounced in Austria than in the other countries. This could be because the tourism sector is more prominent in the Austrian Centrope cities than in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.

In 1900, there were 1.6 billion people on Earth; today, that number has already reached 7 billion. Of these, 54 percent currently live in cities. By 2030, the number of city dwellers is expected to reach 5 billion. However, this so-called urbanization also brings its own set of problems. Cities offer opportunities for sustainable development, but at the same time, they are also risky places to live. 31 October is World Cities Day. On this occasion we are taking a look at the land us in urban agglomerations comparing the European Urban Atlas from 2006 and 2018.

On the occasion of school start in September, we are taking a look at a very similar topic for this month's chart: the participation in early childhood education (children ages 3 and over). The participation ratio is on the rise in each of the Centrope countries. Hungary and Austria show the highest participation rates, Czechia and Slovakia have smaller numbers. In both Austria and Czechia, the values have kept the approximately same level during the past few years, there was no further rise.
