In short

  • Among the 219 regions with a value for 2025, the highest is Ciudad de Melilla (60.2%) and the lowest Zentralschweiz (4.5%).
  • Half of the regions are above 17.1% and half below.
  • From 2024 to 2025 the value rose in 104 regions and fell in 106.
  • The figure for the European Union was 15.2% in 2025, against 16.8% in 2020 (−1.6 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.
