One in three European regions have higher COVID-19 deaths in second wave
Compared to the first wave in spring, excess deaths this autumn are less concentrated in a few hard-hit regions. As Europe’s second wave begins to pass its peak, we’ve gathered data from over 750 regions in Europe so as to track the real toll of the pandemic.
Almost all European regions have managed to bring excess deaths down
As summer nears its end, it is becoming possible to evaluate the coronavirus pandemic’s toll on European regions over nearly six months. We have analysed data from 776 subnational regions to better understand where the virus is continuing to hit hard.
A fraction of European regions account for a majority of COVID-19 deaths
We have gathered data on excess deaths from 500 European regions to better understand the spread of the virus.

Child births: only 13 out of 328 regions in Europe above replacement level
To keep a country’s population stable from one generation to the next, at least two children should be born per woman. But how many European regions pass that threshold? In this report we look closer at the fertility rates across Europe region by region.
