Data notes & caveats

The final county results identify Vukovar-Srijem at 20.3%, compared with 19.0% for Sisak-Moslavina. The page therefore uses the verified county extreme.

Methodology

Uses the final DZS county census counts and reports the county's absolute and relative change. The national decline is retained as a same-source benchmark.

Source consistency notes

County endpoints and the national benchmark use the same DZS census releases, periods and units.
