Source and definitions
Births per 1,000 residents (the crude birth rate) counts live births in the year per 1,000 people living in the area. It depends on age structure as well as on how many children women have: an area of pensioners has a low rate even when its young families are large. For the number of children per woman, see the fertility explorer.
Regions are NUTS 3 units, Eurostat's smallest statistical regions: provinces, counties, districts or groups of them, usually 150,000 to 800,000 people. Each country reports its own rates; years a country has not reported are grey. The United Kingdom stops in 2019, and a few countries report later than others.
