About this ranking

Population under 16 plus population 65 and over, divided by population aged 16 to 64, times 100.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the municipalities are compared on one definition. 1 municipalities with data in other periods have no value for 2016 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
