Browse municipalities by aging ratio
The indicator is the share of residents aged 65+ (aging ratio). We show examples from the relatively higher and lower ends of the national distribution.

How to read this list
- Values use observed age structure from sources such as the Basic Resident Register.
- Reporting lag, daytime population, and reliance on neighboring municipalities are not visible in a single percentage.
- Overall scores combine finance, population, and more; they are separate from this list order.
