Demographic Yearbook of Districts of the Czech Republic

Data in this publication are converted to relate to the territories of districts effective as of 1 January 2006.

All the data in this publication refer to the resident population of the Czech Republic, irrespective of citizenship. Since 2001, the figures include (in accordance with the Population and Housing Census 2001) foreigners with long-term stay (i.e., the stay based on visa over 90 days, as stipulated by Act No. 326/1999 Coll.) and foreigners with granted asylum status.

Population numbers as of 31 December of given year are equal to the numbers as of 1 January of the following year. The population number as of 1 January of the given year plus the total increase gives the population number as of 31 December of the given year. Exception to this rule is the application of the Census 2001 results, when the population as of 31 December 2000 does not equal the population as of 1 January 2001.

The ‘age‘ always refers to completed age.

The dependency ratio is the number of persons aged 65 and over per 100 persons aged 0-14.

Czech Statistical Office compiles the demographic statistics from the statistical notifications ‘Obyv 1-12 Notification of the entry into marriage’, sent by the registry offices, from the statistical notification ‘Obyv 4-12 Notification of divorce’, sent by regional courts of law, from the statistical notification ‘Obyv 2-12 Notification of birth’ sent by the registry offices and from the statistical notification ‘Obyv 3-12 Notification of death’ of the registry, sent by the registry offices. The figures on abortions are compiled from data provided to the Czech Statistical Office by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. The data on abortions are not available for 1991. Until 2004 the statistical document ‘Notification of migration’ (Obyv 5-12) was forwarded to the CZSO by municipality registration offices in the place of arrival; migration of foreigners was registered by the district departments of the Alien and Border Police. Since 2005 the CZSO receives the data on migration from the Central Population Register Record of the Ministry of Interior.

Marriages are regionally classified by permanent residency of groom, divorces are regionally classified by last common permanent residency of spouses, births are regionally classified by permanent residency of mother, abortions are regionally classified by permanent residency of woman and deaths are regionally classified by permanent residency of deceased.

Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths under 1 year of age per 1,000 live births.

Deaths by cause are classified by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 9th revision for 1991-1993 and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision in 1994-2005.

Codes description of causes of death mentioned in the tables (in bracket is cod of 9th revision):

C18 (153) - Malignant neoplasm of colon, C34 (162) - Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung, C50 (174) - Malignant neoplasm of breast, C81-C96 (200-208) - Malignant neoplasm of saps, blood-forming and related tissue, I21-I23 (410,412) - Myocardial infarction, I20, I24, I25 (411,413,414) - Other Ischaemic heart disease.

Migration statistics include changes in the place of permanent residence from municipality to municipality. The statistics measures the number of moves, not the number of migrants – one person could possibly move twice or more times. Arrivals in and departures from the district refer to migration across the border of the district (excluding intra-district migration and including international migration). The figures for 1991-2000 include all citizens with permanent residence in the CR, including foreigners; the figures for 2001 and the following years include citizens of the CR with permanent residence in the CR, foreigners with the permits to permanently reside in the CR, foreigners with visa over 90 days, and foreigners with granted asylum. Intra-district migration means migration between municipalities of the same district (i.e. within the district, not across the border of the district).

Natural increase is the difference between the numbers of live births and deaths; net migration is the difference between the numbers of immigrants and emigrants. Total increase is the aggregate of the natural increase and the net migration.
