Blagoevgrad is still among the districts with a relatively favorable age structure. Education is relatively good. There is a shortage of medical specialists and the number of hospital beds is somewhat small, which explains the relatively small number of patients in local hospitals. Blagoevgrad is still underperforming in administration of justice – in terms of the speediness of solving cases, despite the low crime rate. The environment is in a relatively good condition but cultural life cannot boast any particular intensity.
The demographic picture in the district is still relatively good, though the ageing of the population has followed the general tendency in the country. The state and the results of the educational system in Burgas are relatively unfavorable. The shortage of doctors, the relatively small share of health-insured people, and the insufficient capacity of hospitals explain the small number of hospitalizations relative to the population. The district’s relatively poor performance in security has continued. A rising interest in cinemas and theaters has been noticeable in the last few years.
Though population ageing has been exasperating in the district, the process is slower and age dependency is considerably more favorable than elsewhere in the country. With the single exception of the capital district, Varna is the most highly urbanized district in the country, which entails both high connectivity with sewerage systems and relatively high air pollution. Some of the leading universities are located there and it ranks among the top districts in number of university students. Traditionally Varna has performed well in justice administration and poorly in security.
The district’s demographic picture has undergone serious deterioration. Indicators on the state of education have placed the district in the third position after the capital and the district of Smolyan. On the other hand, the state of healthcare in the district is among the worst. Veliko Tarnovo is one of the districts with the highest clearance crime rate, though the speedy administration of justice is below the national average. The wealth of historical heritage sites has placed Veliko Tarnovo among the districts with the richest cultural life.
Vidin has confirmed its position as the district with the smallest number of inhabitants; it ranks second in the country in terms of rapidly ageing population. Education in the district has shown some positive tendencies. The shortage of GPs and specialist doctors and the limited availability of hospital beds entail a small number of hospitalizations. Clearance rates in the district are going up while the relatively low workloads of criminal judges facilitate a speedier administration of justice. Theaters and museums still attract a considerable number of visitors.
The demographic picture in the district is deteriorating. The average grades at matriculation exams rose in 2017 to approach the national average. Vratsa was one of the districts with the lowest judge workloads and a high crime clearance rate. The district’s relatively low urbanization determined the relatively small share of the population connected to sewerage systems. On the other hand, its air was relatively unpolluted and the quantity of generated waste was low. In 2016 the district’s cultural life could be characterized by low intensity.
The rapid population ageing is due to both a low birth rate and outmigration. The average grade in 2017 BLL matriculation exams was a little above the national average. The relative state of healthcare in the district can be evaluated as very good. The district is also characterized by a relatively high crime clearance rate. Besides, Gabrovo is one of the most highly urbanized districts which explains both the high share of people with access to public sewerage and the relatively intense cultural life.
Population ageing in Dobrich is going fast. The educational system is unable to include a great part of those subject to education though its quality is close to the national average. The shortage of specialist doctors and the relatively limited access to hospital beds entail a hospitalization rate two times smaller than the national average. Administration of justice is relatively fast in the district. The intensity of cultural life is relatively low.
Population ageing has continued in the district of Kardzhali but the age structure of the district’s population has remained more favorable than the national average level. For a third successive year, in 2017 the district’s performance at state matriculation exams was exceptionally poor. The administration of justice is characterized by relatively low workloads for judges and a relatively speedy process. Kardzhali is one of the districts with the least polluted air. Its relatively low level of urbanization explains the considerably smaller share of people with access to sewerage systems. Kardzhali
is the district with the least intensive cultural life.
Population ageing and depopulation have been particularly intensive in the district in the last few years. High school students’ matriculation results have been improving while still remaining below the national average rates. Local courts have had traditionally high workloads and that has affected the speed of justice administration. Air pollution continues to be a problem in the district. Cultural life has a relatively low intensity.
Lovech was among the districts with the least favorable age structure of the population. School enrolment rates were relatively high though the shares of dropouts from primary and secondary education were also large. The district was characterized by a shortage of specialist doctors. It has kept its past levels of low court workloads. Both the share of people with access to sewerage systems and connectivity to wastewater treatment plants have been considerably below national average figures. Cultural life is not very intensive.
Population ageing in Montana was considerably faster than elsewhere in the country. In 2017 students from the district once again got low grades in the matriculation exam in BLL: a decade-long tendency. The district is short of specialist doctors. Though court workloads are relatively low, justice administration is relatively slow. Montana is still among the districts with the lowest volume of generated household waste and among those with the cleanest air. The district is characterized by relatively low intensity of cultural life.
Population ageing and depopulation are less clearly expressed in Pazardzhik district than they are in the country as a whole. Education indicators place the district among those with the poorest results both in quality and in the ability to keep children in schools. The relatively numerous hospital beds and doctors in the district determine the great number of hospitalizations. Administration of justice is relatively speedy while registered crime rates are low. Cultural life remains unintensive except for the high interest in museums.
Population ageing in the district has mostly been a consequence of the low natural growth rate but also of the negative net migration rate. The shares of repeaters and dropouts from primary and secondary education have remained considerably below national average rates. The local population mostly seeks for medical service outside the district because of the district’s proximity to the capital. Crime rates have stayed high while crime clearance rates have remained below average. Cultural life is not particularly intensive.
The district of Pleven was among those districts with the lowest natural increase in 2016. The net migration rate dropped as well and reached its lowest level in the last ten years. Matriculation exam results in the district were relatively poor. Pleven is one of the districts with the best ratings for the state of healthcare. Judges’ workloads are relatively low and the administration of justice is relatively fast. Though interest in museums is traditionally high, cultural life in the district lacks intensity.
The demographic picture has been considerably more favorable in the district than in the country as a whole because Plovdiv is one of the few districts that attract net migrants from other districts. Plovdiv has continued its traditional good performance at matriculation exams. Both the number of doctors and the hospital capacity in the district have remained above national levels. Though the judges in it have some of the highest workloads in the country, administration of justice has been relatively speedy. The relatively high urbanization rate and population density in Plovdiv come to explain the high access of the population to sewerage and wastewater treatment plants. In 2016 cinemas registered the highest growth rate and the greatest number of visits.
In the last few years, population ageing was increasingly fast in the district. Razgrad was among the districts with the highest enrolment rate in 5th–8th grade once again in 2016 though the district’s average grade at matriculation exams was still lagging behind. Razgrad remained one of the districts with the greatest shortage of doctors. Registered crimes were relatively few and their clearance rate was high. Low urbanization and low population density in the district made connecting people to sewerage difficult though the entire network is serviced by wastewater treatment plants. In 2016 the district of Razgrad joined the top three districts in terms of library visits.
During the last few years, population ageing has been faster and deeper in the district compared to the general national tendency – the main reason being the low rate of natural increase. Matriculation exam results of school leavers from the district have approached national average levels. Ruse is still one of the districts with the highest shortage of doctors. Justice administration in the district is characterized by relatively low workloads for judges and high shares of cases closed within 3 months. The district is also characterized by high connectivity to wastewater treatment plants. Cultural life has been relatively intensive.
Population ageing in Silistra district has been faster and more clearly expressed than the general processes in the country. Matriculation exam results rose in 2017, while remaining considerably below national average figures. Healthcare in the district suffered from doctor shortages and a limited hospital capacity. Silistra was among the districts with relatively low court workloads, low crime rates and high clearance rates. The low urbanization level in the district comes as an explanation for the exceptionally low sewerage connectivity of the population. The intensity of cultural life in Silistra has been relatively low.
Sliven remains one of the districts with the most favorable population age structure but also with the worst education profile in the whole country. Administration of justice in the district can be characterized as fast and crime clearance rates are high. Sliven is still one of the districts with relatively low air pollution and small amounts of generated waste. Cultural life in the district is not particularly intensive except for the rate of theater visits.
In 2016, Smolyan was once again the district with the highest net number of people moving out relative to the population. It was the absolute first in education. The relative number of specialist doctors was lagging behind. Smolyan was the district with the smallest number of registered crimes and the highest clearance rate. Its relatively low urbanization accounts for the low share of population with access to sewerage. Cultural life in the district was not characterized by particular intensity. In 2016 the interest in libraries made an exception.
Population ageing is noticeable all over the country but it is faster and deeper in the district. Sofia is still among the districts with the lowest results at matriculation exams. Hospital beds are a considerable number which determines the relatively big number of hospitalizations. Judges at the district court have high workload which affects the speed of justice administration. Due to the low urbanization and population density Sofia is one of the districts with limited access to public sewerage. The intensity of cultural life in the district is exceptionally low.
Sofia (capital city) is one of the few districts in which the population age structure has been improving if we take into account the ratio of people aged 65+ to those aged 0–14. The capital is still the district with the highest rates of natural increase and net migration. High-school students from Sofia get the highest grades at matriculation exams but the ability of the educational system to enroll all children in the school system is below average. Access to medical establishments and specialists explains the traditionally high number of hospitalizations. In terms of security and justice the capital has performed worse than any other Bulgarian districts. The intensity of cultural life is the highest among all districts.
Population ageing in the district has followed the general tendency in the country. Though Stara Zagora is one of the three districts where the shortage of teachers is most acute matriculation exam results are close to average. Considered against the background of the numerous doctors and hospital beds, hospitalizations are relatively few. Administration of justice is characterized by high workloads for judges and speedy trial. Air pollution in the district has continued to affect the district’s environment rating. The intensity of cultural life is comparable with national average rates.
The relatively low natural increase and the high rate of outmigration continued to worsen the demographic picture in the district. The educational system has serious problems with keeping children in school as well as low matriculation exam grades. Targovishte is one of the districts with the acutest shortage of doctors. The court in Targovishte district has the lowest workloads in the country which positively affects the speed of justice administration. Targovishte is also among the districts with the fewest registered crimes and the highest clearance rate.
Natural increase in the district has traditionally been lower than the national average; in 2016 there was a new wave of emigration from the district which was a setback on the population’s age structure. Student performance at matriculation exams has remained poor. Healthcare is characterized by relatively low capacity of medical facilities and doctor shortages. Administration of justice in the district is relatively speedy with above-average crime clearance rates. The intensity of cultural life in the district is relatively low.
Indicators of the population’s age structure were relatively favorable. The numerous new teachers employed in the district raised the district of Shumen to the second place for the highest number of teachers relative to the number of students. Shumen was one of the districts with the acutest shortage of specialist doctors and the most limited hospital capacity. Judges’ workloads in the district have traditionally been below national average, which has contributed to speedier justice administration. Air pollution and generated waste remain considerably below the average in the country. Local museums and libraries keep attracting numerous visitors.
Population ageing in the district is more clearly expressed than its national average level. Both education and healthcare are in a considerably deteriorated state. Yambol has continued to perform exceptionally poor at matriculation exams; the district is also one of those with the acutest shortage of specialist doctors. The workloads of criminal judges at the district court are relatively low which affects favorably the speed of justice administration. The crime clearance rate, on the other hand, is high. Cultural life in the district was not particularly intensive in 2016 once again.
