Demography statistics - Regions (for 'Developer API')
<p style="text-align: justify;">This dataset provides the full set of regional demographic indicators for large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions, including population and deaths counts by 5-year and aggregrated age groups, dependency rates, mortality and fertility rates, and measures of population mobility within and across countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This dataset is recommended for users who wish to query a large amount of data. It is not designed for visualising results using the Table and Chart buttons.

<p><strong>Regions and territorial levels</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The list and maps of regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid <a href="https://webfs-cfe.oecd.org/files/.Stat/region/OECD_territorial-grid_TL2024.pdf">(pdf)</a> and the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table <a href="https://webfs-cfe.oecd.org/files/.Stat/region/OECD%20Territorial%20correspondence%20-%20TL2024c.xlsx">(xlsx)</a>.</p>
