This map shows which age group of 10 years is the largest in the different regions of Europe. Of course, this is a very small demographic detail and does not tell the whole picture. The fact that 50-year-olds are the largest age group in an area does not mean that the median age is high in that area, but there is a very strong correlation. This is data from Eurostat.
The largest demographic group in an area often has a strong influence on politics. Since that group is the largest group of potential voters. Furthermore, it also says something about the future of an area.
In most of Europe, people in their 40s and 50s are the largest age group. In Croatia and Serbia, the 60s are the largest age group. In Kosovo they are teenagers. In Albania, Iceland, and Turkey, 20-somethings are the largest age group.
In most countries, the differences between regions are very small. But there are some countries that present very interesting differences. In Germany, there is clearly a big difference between the big cities and the rest of the country. The same is true in the UK, where in some cities children under 10 are the most common age group. France probably shows the greatest differences, with many areas where the most common age group is children under 10 or adolescents, and at the same time several regions where the most common age group is people over 60 years.
