The visualisation illustrates how:  

• in some countries the difference (range between min and max) in TFR between NUTS3 regions within the country is broader than the difference between countries,  
• the grouping by geographical region shows a clustering of the countries by TFR, with majority of countries in the central and eastern region reporting higher than average TFR.  

The two constant reference lines show the average TFR for the whole of EU in 2023 (TFR=1.38) and the rate of natural replacement (TFR=2.1), i.e. the TFR needed to maintain population size (if mortality and net migration rates are stable).  

Mouse-over (pop-up as cursor moves over graph elements) shows the average, min and max TFR values for each country.
