The values were observed between 2024 and 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Statbel (Statistics Belgium) — https://statbel.fgov.be/en/themes/population/structure-population Eurostat — https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/urb_cpopcb?format=JSON&lang=en ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
