Analyses that mention Skuodas District Municipality
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.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.Mild coast, frosty north-east: a climate mapLithuania is a small and mostly flat country, yet its climate changes noticeably from one municipality to the next. The Baltic coast has mild and wet winters, the north-east has long frosts and more of its rain falling as snow, and the south enjoys the warmest summers. This analysis reads the long-term climate normals to show how large these differences really are.
