A map of every village over 13 years, and why the official count of rural schools (−76%) does not mean as many schools closed. - How old is your town? (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) The median age of each of Romania’s 3,181 localities, computed from the registered population by single year of age (INS, POP107D), on a map with every real boundary.

In 528 localities there are now more registered people aged 80 or over than children under 10; in 1992 there were 9. ## Places documented in the projects - Baia Mare - Bârsana Wooden Church - Poienile Izei Wooden Church - Blue Lake of Baia Sprie - Sighet Memorial Museum of Communism Victims - Săpânța - Săpânța - Șurdești ## What the county data measures Measure | Value | Period and meaning Median age of the population by domicile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) | 43.7 years | 2026Half the population registered by domicile is younger, half older.
