Stockholm has had a big growth spurt but it seems our little sister city Uppsala is growing faster now
So, for Spain:
– Big increases in Navarre, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Madrid and it’s surrounding provinces.
– Moderate increase in the Mediterranean coast, Andalusia, provinces below Madrid, Cantabria, Euskadi, parts of Aragón and Galicia.
– Decrease in the rest. (The Canary Islands sank into the ocean).
As for reasons…well. Madrid receives a lot of immigration because it’s the capital. I’m surprised about Navarre, although they didn’t have a big population anyway. Catalonia gets immigration too, mainly because of tourism and Middle Eastern/North African emigrants. Same with the Balearic Islands, but they’re being colonized by Germans and Brits instead.
– The Mediterranean coast also get tons of immigrants, as do Andalusia. Surprised about Cantabria, Euskadi, Aragón and Galicia tbh. The green part below Madrid is explained because many people work in Madrid but don’t live there.
– The rest of Spain is being hit by depopulation because people tend to flock to the cities and many of these parts lack big cities like Valencia, Murcia, Barcelona, Bilbao or Madrid, so they emigrate to these provinces and thus only oldsters live in these autonomous communities.
It’s good to see that it’s not only capitals growing in CEE.
I thought everywhere in Hungary except Budapest and Györ-Moson-Sopron was in decline, but it seems there’s some other parts that are doing okay too!
And it’s great to see that South-Eastern Estonia is also growing! I really loved Tartu and the surrounding area.
I did think Plovdiv and coastal Bulgaria would be doing better though…
Former East Germany isn´t doing too bad in this map. Was expecting a green dot for Berlin surrounded by purple.
Why is Southern Spain population growing?
UK excluded but Turkey included. All of my what.
You might think that the reason for the green colors in Turkey is purely because Turks make love. However, this is not so. The reason is the population explosion, mostly due to refugees and illegal immigrants.
Of course they would be green even without them. But more open.
Man, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia and Lithuania look screwed in the future.
Italy just feels like decline when I’m there.

Croatia is pretty much waving goodbye lol
South Tyrol in Italy is booming. Can any Italians here tell me what may be behind this? is the real-estate more affordable there? This region is the one that jumps out to me the most as I recognize it immediately.
I like the look of this map
It makes sense that people would want to move to a greener area.
Most of the growth being immigration
Lil bit of anxiety inducing seeing the population going down in so many places
Whole Balkan leaving
I’m shocked that every province in Wallonia saw population growth tbh.
Do you see that little pink spot in Sicily? I live there
We gotta make more kids guys
Interesting that the Mediterranean coast is experiencing moderate to high growth with hot spots like Catalonia and the Hérault, but that just across the border the beautiful Italian riviera is seeing massive population loss! Perhaps this has something to with the terrible border-crossing transport links.
What is happening in Drenthe lol
EU should do something about Eastern Europe. Many eastern European EU countries (Estonia Latvia Lithuania Bulgaria Croatia) are facing literal extinction in 50 years.
Can someone explain how the EU is worse for those countries survival than communism and above all the Nazis?
RIP les Hautes-Alpes 😔
The UK is in Europe
Slovenia definetly makes sense since Zasavje has a ton or declining industry, Koroška is mostly forests, I don’t know whats up with Prekmurje tho.
Also our neighbor Croatia, are you alright?
We’ll eventually get the population back up to pre famine levels…slowly but surely
How bad are things in Italy if even Rome is pink? I thought Italian economy where alright.
globally, the birth rate is gradually decreasing everywhere, and the population itself is also gradually aging
Yeah, nobody lives in Slavonija (Croatia) anymore.
The Russian-speaking parts of Estonia and Latvia are rapidly depopulating – which is a good thing for these 2 countries.
Bucharest is a green island in Romania, it’s also easy to spot the urban regions of Spain in this map.

Uppsala is the new Stockholm in Sweden.
