Analyses that mention Kaunas District Municipality

Older and younger municipalities: ages, births and deathsLithuania's municipalities are not ageing at the same pace. In some, more than one resident in four is of retirement age, while the districts beside the biggest cities have a much younger profile. This analysis sets the age structure beside birth and death rates to see where the oldest and youngest populations live and how closely births and deaths follow the age profile.Where Lithuania gains and loses populationOver ten years the national population total has hardly moved, yet that stability hides sharp contrasts between places. A few municipalities beside the big cities and on the coast have added residents quickly, while the typical municipality has lost a noticeable share of its people. This analysis follows the gains and losses and asks what they say about where people choose to live.Forests, fields and built-up land in LithuaniaForests, fields and buildings divide the land of Lithuania's municipalities very unevenly: some are mostly woodland, others mostly farmland, and a handful of cities are mostly built surface. This analysis reads the land-cover shares, then asks whether built-up land has followed the population or kept growing in places where residents have left.
