The CZSO published data from the 2021 Census for territorial units lower than municipalities and city or administrative districts. The basic data on the number of inhabitants and the number of occupied dwellings is now available for parts of municipalities, basic settlements units and their segments.

There were more than 6.2 thousand municipalities in the Czech Republic as of the Census date, which are further divided into about 15 thousand municipal districts and more than 23.5 thousand basic settlement units (ZSJ). Basic settlement units are usually defined as settlement sites or continuous parts of the municipality's territory with a certain character or predominant function and are therefore quite diverse. They may represent smaller settlements, villages, hamlets or isolated places, or in urban development, individual neighbourhoods, urban parts, sites with local names or even areas with a predominant use other than housing, e.g. industrial or recreational sites. The number of inhabitants of these units can therefore reach several hundred to a thousand, but there are also basic settlement units without a single inhabitant.

Data for all territorial units is available in the CZSO Public database in the newly created section 2021 Census Basic Data. For the selected administrative district of a municipality with extended powers (SO ORP), basic data on the number of inhabitants and occupied dwellings for all municipalities, parts of municipality, parts of municipality – segments, ZSJ and ZSJ – segments on its territory are presented here.
