About this ranking

Population aged 0 to 14 plus population aged 65 and over, divided by population aged 15 to 64, times 100, on 1 January (Eurostat).

Eurostat age bands. dependency_ratio (INE, Spain) splits the ages at 16, so values for Spanish places differ between the two.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
