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.
Full ranking
Places are ordered from the highest to the lowest value. Group medians on this site are the middle value of the members with data for the same year; they are not official aggregates.
How this ranking works
Every region is ranked on its value for 2025, the latest period that most regions have, so all values are for the same point in time. Regions without a value for 2025 are left out. Groups and aggregates such as the European Union are not ranked. Values are as published by Eurostat; the ranking is a plain ordering from the highest to the lowest value and says nothing about whether a high value is good or bad.
