Chart of the month May

This month we are taking a look at the foreign-born population, i.e. the number of persons born abroad (according to present time borders), whether in other EU member States or non-EU countries, who are usually resident in the reporting country on 1 January of the respective year. To make the data comparable, we indexed them with a starting value of 100 in 2013. The chart shows a constant increase over the years analysed in all countries. From 2022, there is a significant outlier in the Czech Republic, which was caused by the war in Ukraine. In relation to its population, no other country in the EU has taken in so many Ukrainian refugees. Data source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tps00178/default/table

CentropeMAP/STATISTICS is a cross-border information system and free geoportal of the Austrian Planning Association East (PGO) which gives planners, decision makers, researchers, teachers, students and everyone else interested a better overview of the Centrope region.

CentropeMAP is a geoportal connecting the region by collecting web map services from the partner countries. The services are brought together in a single map viewer and allow the user to experience a cross-border working area with dozens of data layers dealing with all topics which could be of interest for regional planners and similar professions. Layers are coming from the fields of biota, boundaries, elevation, imagery/base maps, inland waters, planning/cadastre, structure, and transportation.

CentropeSTATISTICS is the only available free web tool to visualise cross-border statistical data in its own connected geoportal allowing the user to influence the way of visualisation in multiple ways in the Centrope region. CentropeSTATISTICS can not only create maps, it also serves charts which are interactively created from the data in the cross-border database. For the Czech Republic, CentropeSTATISTICS does not only cover the Centrope county Jihomoravský, but also features data from the counties Vysočina and Jihočesky which are also adjacent or close to the Austrian border.
