The first table shows a list of the administrative districts of the municipalities with extended powers and the municipalities with authorized municipal office established in the region. It gives number of municipalities belonging to administrative districts, areas of the districts, and population. The population derived from the results of the Population and Housing Census held as at 1 March 2001 (PHC 2001) refers to the number of persons recorded for permanent residence in a municipality of the administrative district. Since 2001 this number has been also including foreigners with long-term stay on the territory concerned. The presented data are converted to correspond to the territorial structure in force as at 31 December 2003. The other tables give selected data on the administrative districts of municipalities with extended powers obtained by summarizing data on individual municipalities. The population and vital statistics were obtained from notifications of birth, death and migration and the age distribution was derived from demographic balance. The data on commuting were obtained from population and housing census results. They refer to persons who leave the administrative district of a municipality with extended powers to work outside it or come to such an administrative district to work there. The data on the number of job applicants were calculated from the information contained in the database of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the CR. The registered unemployment rate was calculated as the ratio of the number of job applicants as at 31 December of the year concerned and the number of economically active persons established by the PHC 2001. Information on the facilities in the municipalities was acquired by the territorial method (including detached workplaces) disregarding the head office of the operator. The municipality is considered to be equipped with facilities, if the facilities measured are provided in at least one of its parts. The number of businesses includes businesses, which have their head offices on the territory concerned (not only their plants) and are active (the CZSO has no information on their inactivity). The housing construction data (on dwellings completed and dwellings that ceased to exist) come from statistical reports supplied by planning and building control authorities.

The town refers to a municipality which has been granted the status of town pursuant to the Act on Municipalities. The tables give overviews on towns in regions, arranged in alphabetical order.

Basic demographic data covering last three years are given for each of the towns. The data are obtained from reports of births, deaths and migration. Listed are also the age distribution of population in towns, selected types of technical and public infrastructure of towns (including detached workplaces), numbers of enterprises having their head offices in the towns, and numbers of completed dwellings and dwellings that ceased to exist. The data on numbers of employed persons leaving town to work outside it or coming to town to work in it (incl. the commuting balance) have been calculated from results of the PHC 2001. Most of these data (and a number of others) are included in the database on town and municipal statistics.

The municipality refers to a basic territorial self-governing community of citizens. It makes up a territorial unit delimitated by borders. Table 13-15. lists selected data by size group of municipalities and Table 13-16. gives selected data on individual municipalities pooled together to make administrative districts of municipalities with extended powers. This territorial structure has been in force since 1 January 2003. The figure in the brackets following the name of administrative district is an official numerical code corresponding to the CZSO codebook.
