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.Buses, trains and charging points across LithuaniaPublic transport service depends heavily on where people live, yet departures per resident, Sunday timetables and rail each draw a different map. Public charging points add another view, with resorts and spa towns well equipped for their size. This analysis sets these services side by side across the country's municipalities to show how unevenly everyday mobility options are spread.
