In a striking trend, the population in the Westerwaldkreis shows that at least biologically there is 1000 fewer people than last year. This is due to a higher number of deaths compared to the births. A similar phenomenon can be observed in many rural regions where the birth rates tend to decrease and the living conditions are often less approved.

The statistical state offices that take on central functions in demographic recording regularly publish reports that document these trends. You will receive data on births, deaths and marriages every month from the registry offices, which are then analyzed precisely. It is particularly noteworthy that during the number of births and deaths are prepared in place of residence, marriages are only registered where they actually take place.

negative records of births and deaths

These negative demographic changes are not only locally, but also show nationwide patterns. While in Rhineland-Palatinate the population grew to almost 4.175 million people last year at 15,161, the Westerwaldkreis remains an exception in this picture. This means that immobilized immigration in this Region results in a significant positive balance that compensates for the birth rate.

It is interesting that despite the stagnating or falling birth rates in rural areas, immigration from other regions or countries can significantly contribute to stabilizing the population. The exact recording of these figures is of great importance to understand the future development of the region and take appropriate measures.

The previous analysis suggests that official documentation and careful evaluation of the births, deaths and migration movements for the planning of local as well as regional resources and infrastructure are of the greatest importance.

detailed statistics and their meaning

The statistical surveys also show that the migration balance, which results from immigration, considerably exceeds the natural decline of the population in the Westerwald district. This is a sign that despite the challenges in rural areas, new residents may move into these less populated areas to lead a calmer and natural life.

The recording of this data is updated monthly, which allows you to react quickly to trends. It is important not only to increase the birth rate, but also to improve the living conditions for the residents in order to keep and regain more people in the long term.
