Analyses that mention Ignalina 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.Hospital beds and how intensively they are usedA hospital bed does not mean the same thing everywhere: some municipalities count many beds for a small population, others report none for acute care, and the busiest hospitals are not always the biggest. This analysis compares beds per resident, acute-care capacity, occupancy and length of stay to show what these counts can and cannot say.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.
