Population Change Indicators – CZ04 (Severozápad) 2012-2023

Key Insights:

• Migration Crisis Impact: Net migration experienced an extraordinary spike to 25.2‰ in 2022, reflecting the Ukrainian refugee crisis impact on Czech Republic.

• Natural Growth Consistency: Natural population growth remained relatively stable between 0.8‰ and 5.4‰, with a notable decline in fertility during 2020-2021 reaching 4.8‰ and 4.1‰ respectively.
• Migration Patterns: Migration showed zero contribution in 2017 and generally low levels until the 2022 crisis, indicating CZ04 was not a primary migration destination before the Ukrainian crisis.
