In short

  • Among the 249 regions with a value for 2025, the highest is Mayotte (62.4%) and the lowest Utrecht (4.0%).
  • Half of the regions are above 12.0% and half below.
  • From 2024 to 2025 the value rose in 126 regions and fell in 113.
  • The figure for the European Union was 11.8% in 2025, against 14.4% in 2020 (−2.6 percentage points). The source marks a break in the series during this period, so part of the change may come from a change in method.
