CentropeMAP is a cross-border geoportal of the Austrian Planning Association East (PGO) which gives planners, decision makers, researchers, teachers, students and everyone else interested a better overview of the Centrope region.
CentropeSTATISTICS is a powerful extension of the geoportal allowing its users to create maps, charts and animated graphics from statistical data on municipality level with a few mouse clicks.

Map of the month May
The theme of this year's International Family Day, which is celebrated on 15 May, is Families, Inequalities and Child Wellbeing. On this occasion we are taking a look at the number of live births per 1,000 inhabitants, which may serve as an indicator for fmily development. Interestingly, visualising these numbers on the map makes the settlement structures invisible. There are absolutely no significant differences between agglomerations and sparsely populated areas. Also, the numbers in Slovakia are on the same level despite a younger population structure.

Life expectancy in our society is rising steadily. But what about health? The HLY (healthy life years) indicator can provide a clear picture of this. It indicates the average number of years a person can expect to live without major health problems from birth onwards. Furthermore, an increase in healthy life years would not only improve the situation of individuals but also result in lower levels of public health care expenditure. If healthy life years are increasing more rapidly than life expectancy, it means that people are living more years in better health.

Tree cover density impacts ecosystems and urban areas by regulating temperature, improving air quality, enhancing biodiversity, and reducing noise. Higher density typically enhances environmental benefits, such as lowering urban heat, but excessive density in specific biomes can hinder biodiversity and increase vulnerability to storm destruction. The slider maps compare the years 2012 and 2021 and are available for the larger cities in the Centrope region and their surroundings:

Rising housing costs have been a hot topic in the media for some time now. But how have housing costs actually changed over the last few years? The statistics can provide the answer. We take a look at the percentage of the population living in a household where total housing costs (net of housing allowances) represent more than 40% of the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances). Although there has been an increase since 2019, when looking at the last 12 years (2014–2024), the proportion of the population facing excessive housing costs has actually fallen – both in the individual Centrope countries and compared to the EU average.
