Czechia - Population

This dataset provides annual data describing population and population changes, such as population, natural increase, and migration.  Data on marriages and divorces is also available.

The data showing the size and structure of the population are derived from decennial population censuses and from additional information on population balances and changes. The latter is obtained by processing statistical reports on marriages, divorces, births and deaths. The reports are provided by registries and district courts.

Data are subject to revisions.

All data refer to the resident population of the Czech Republic, irrespective of citizenship. Since 2001, the figures include (in accordance with the Population and Housing Census 2001) foreigners with long-term stay (i.e., the stay based on visa over 90 days, as stipulated by Act No. 326/1999 Coll.) and foreigners with granted asylum status (in compliance with Act No. 325/1999 Coll.). Since 1^st May 2004, in accordance with amendment No. 326/1999 Coll., the figures include citizens of the European Union with temporary stay on the territory of the Czech Republic, and citizens of other countries with long-term stay. The data contain also information on events (marriages, births and deaths) of permanent residents of the Czech Republic that occurred abroad.
