I took the most recent year for data was available for an area.

So this is basically how many more/less births per deaths when compared to a 1:1 ratio.
I think what we mostly see here is people getting kids in cities and then moving to the countryside when they get older.
Still interesting, tho dividing by population might be more intuitive.
You know what I saw a while ago… Germanies immigration rate, even with the huge campaign of it being a crisis. With the exception of a year or two where it doubled it is very very close to the actual replacement number. That would be a great addition to your chart. or even have a second chart to show. You would probably be more or less flat with a small gradual increasing for the population in Germany.
Ireland just needed some damn potatoes, and look what happens!
This is showing declining populations?

England doesn’t seem to be too bad like probably half the population live in a blue area and another 25 % live in the least dark red.
The dark blue bit in the Netherlands is mostly sea? Is that supposed to be Flevoland?
What’s the point with Eu demographic data on Reddit? Not a single day without a post on low birth rate.
As a non pension worried boomer sadly watching how we are hurting the planet so much i don’t really see a problem with population decreasing.
In the future, I expect that you will have to have children by law. I don’t think like a death penalty if you don’t but you will be taxed in a way that having children is “the cheaper option”.
Whatever you plot as a map of germany, you can always see the dividing wall.
I don’t understand how to read that map.
they be fuckin in Ireland
Y’all have some country borders?
Now add immigration and see interesting things
If you add migration balance, then almost all of Spain and Portugal turns blue.
Wondering whether Paris, London, Stockholm, Brussels, Amsterdam growth driven mainly by immigration?
The biggest thing I notice when I (Irish) visit another European country, is how old the population is.
The rest of Europe is so fecking old. There’s no young people. Cork is so unbelievably young compared to these places.
Birth rates in Ireland remained higher a lot longer than in the rest of Europe.
Is anyone actually surprised that the countries with more maternity leave, that’s actually paid (often fully paid) and subsidized childcare are doing better than those with shorter leave and more expensive childcare?
New immigration map just dropped
