Census 2021

New outputs enriched the Statistical geoportal

Based on the results of the 2021 Census, the Czech Statistical Office has prepared unique maps on work commuting from the Czech Republic abroad, expanded the data offer to include internal migration flows and basic demographic statistics, and newly added maps on religious belief and ethnicity.

Through the Mobility app, the Statistical Geoportal allows users to view the numbers and shares of workers who commute from Czechia to selected countries around the world, from regions to all European countries, and from lower territorial units to four neighbouring countries. Selecting a foreign country provides a clear overview of the regions of the Czech Republic from which most people commute to work.

In the same application, incoming and outgoing commuting flows are now also available in greater territorial detail. The CZSO has prepared maps for all 17 indicators published so far at the level of parts of basic settlement units (BSU). This will provide users with a more accurate picture of where people commute to and from, and what means of transport they use for these journeys, including within individual municipalities and cities.

Another new feature of the Mobility app is internal migration data. This offers users the opportunity to see on a map where people who have moved into their municipality are coming from or where their fellow citizens are moving to the most.

The Statistical Atlas app displays the results of 2021 Census for two new topics. Religious belief and ethnicity have been added to the previous thematic maps for population. Respondents' answers to these questions were optional in the Census. Users can view the distribution of the population by declared religious belief or specific ethnicity in a total of six territorial levels.

In addition to the 2021 Census results, the Statistical Atlas now includes selected indicators from demographic statistics. These offer an interactive view of how the population is evolving in individual municipalities and regions of Czechia, whether in terms of natural increase/decrease or migration, or where the highest life expectancy at birth is.
