Adjusted population
Indicator description
The full-scope censuses conducted every ten years show a comprehensive picture of the number and composition of the population. For determining the annual population number in the period between two censuses, the starting point is the population number of the last census (currently the census with the reference date of 1 October 2022), and from this, the population was estimated by using natural increase or decrease data available from the statistics of vital events until 2000. From 2001 international migration is also taken into account.

At the same time, the number of general practitioners and family paediatricians continued to decrease; their number was 5,469 in 2024, an average of 5.7 per ten thousand inhabitants.

Disability and health-related limitations
Over the past fifteen years, there has been a slight decline in the proportion of people who felt limited in carrying out their everyday activities due to their health condition. In 2024, a little more than one-fifth of the population was affected. In settlements with a higher share of elderly residents—often owing to the presence of institutions dedicated to senior care—the proportion of those reporting limitations was also higher. By contrast, the share of people with limitations was lower in the capital and major urban agglomerations, where younger populations are more prevalent.03/12/2025
