Data Preparation

Dataset Origins

The datasets used in this project contain demographic indicators sourced for the EU NUTS-3 regions. Key variables include:

  • Crude Rate of Total Population Change: Highlighting regions with growing or shrinking populations.
  • Median Age of Population: Indicating demographic aging across different geographies.
  • Net Migration (Plus Statistical Adjustment): Showing population movement into and out of specific regions.
  • Population Density: Contextualizing urbanization and rural spread.

Cleaning Process

The raw data was filtered and cleaned to remove missing values and harmonize the regional codes with the NUTS-3 shapefiles (EU_NUTS3 directory). Cleaned output files are stored as .csv files in the Data - Cleaned directory to easily interface with GeoDa.
