FOREWORD

Local news is the best news. This could also be said about statistical data: the closer, the more interesting. And our publication Regions in Figures offers just that. Compare the data for your region with the data for other regions and the average for Slovenia and you will find out the characteristics of the population, how they live, the economic situation of your region, how the environment is taken care of, and much, much more.

This year’s edition of Regions in Figures is different. It focuses on the data according to which individual regions stand out. Rich visualisations enable a simple insight into the similarities and differences among the 12 statistical regions. Those of you who want or need more data at the level of regions or municipalities can visit our website and our web application Slovene Regions and Municipalities in Numbers (http://www.stat.si/obcine/en), which is also available via the QR code at the bottom of the page.
