Friuli Venezia Giulia statistical report highlights aging population

The 57th edition of the “Regione in cifre 2026” yearbook, published by the Friuli Venezia Giulia regional statistical office, provides a comprehensive statistical overview of the territory. The report highlights several demographic and social trends, noting that the resident population is aging faster than the Italian and European averages, alongside a declining birth rate.

Despite these demographic challenges, the data shows that residents tend to live longer, engage more frequently in cultural activities such as theater and concerts, and maintain higher reading rates than the national average. The report also notes high levels of environmental awareness and significant participation in blood donation. Trieste remains the most populous municipality in the region.
