Be it her natural beauty, the economy, culture, sports, science or her vibrant club organizations, Styria offers so much in every aspect . This brochure, “Styria in Numbers”, sums up this variety in numbers, giving a precise overview . Things are going very well at present . During the past two years, about 1 .5 billion Euros have been invested in creating more affordable living; both public trans­ portation and the digital highway have been expanded in the region; the quality of health care continues to rise, and unemployment has dropped . Regional development projects are supported through­ out Styria — more than 400 and counting . We are de­ veloping these places with an eye on the future . I hope you enjoy reading about us . I would like to thank all those who worked on this project, as well as to ex­ press my gratitude to our partners who are committed to an ever­ thriving Styria! Sincerely, Mag. Michael Schickhofer Vice­Governor of Styria GETTYIMAGES/PETER HOWELL © 5 POPULATION STYRIA IN NUMBERS STEIERMARK TOURISMUS | TOM LAMM IKARUS.CC © 7 STYRIA IN NUMBERS │POPULATION STYRIA IN NUMBERS │POPULATION Population Natural Population Changes 2016 (1. 1. 2017) 627,019 610,279 -1,097 Women Men Difference 50.7 % 49.3 % 11,214 12,311 1,237,298 Births Deaths Age Groups Life Expectancy 2016 (1. 1. 2017) 84.3 years 79.4 years 18.3 % 61.8 % Women Men under 20 to 20 years 65 years Population of Styria According 19.9 % to Nationality Top 10 65 years and older Austria 89.8 % Romania 1.4 % Population Changes Germany 1.2 % Croatia 1.1 % Bosnia and Herzegovina 0.9 % Hungary 0.6 % + 2.9 % + 0.4 % Turkey 0.6 % + 34,815 + 5,286 Afghanistan 0.5 % 2007 –2017 2016 –2017 Slovenia 0.4 % Russia 0.3 % (as of: 1.
