POPULATION BY DIFFERENT TERRITORIAL LEVELS

The territorial distribution of the population in Republic of Macedonia express significant inequality. The 57.8% of the population live in the cities (there are 34 cities in Republic of Macedonia) where the biggest concentration is in the capitol Skopje (20.5%).

Large part of the rural settlements (total number of settlements is 1728) are completely depopulated (141 settlement) or have extremely small number of inhabitants, and in close future, as a result of inauspicious age structure (old population), will have no population.

From the other side, in relatively small number of rural settlements (mostly located in the west and north-east part of the country), the concentration of the population is very large.
