Statistical open data on LAU regions of Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary (and other countries in the future). LAU1 regions are called counties, okres, okresy, powiat, NUTS4, LAU, Local Administrative Units, ... and there are 556 of them in this V4 dataset. Overall, we cover 554 regions which are described by 131.954 observations (panel data rows) and more than 2.105.588 data points. This version includes unemployment data up to April 2026 and demographic data up to 2025. This LAU dataset contains panel data on population, on age structure of inhabitants, on number and on structure of registered unemployed. Dataset prepared by Michal Páleník. Output files are in json, shapefiles, xls, ods, json, topojson or CSV formats. This dataset consists of: data on unemployment (by gender, education and duration of unemployment), data on vacancies, open data on population in Visegrad counties (by age and gender), data on unemployment share. Combined latest dataset dataset of the latest available data on unemployment, vacancies and population dataset includes map contours (shp, topojson or geojson format), relation id in OpenStreetMap, wikidata entry code, it also includes NUTS4 code, LAU1 code used by national statistical office and abbreviation of the region (usually license plate), source of map contours is OpenStreetMap, licensed under ODbL no time series, only most recent data on population and unemployment combined in one output file columns: period, lau, name, registered_unemployed, registered_unemployed_females,

used by local statistical offices, so they should be more stable NUTS4 codes are consistent with NUTS3 codes used by Eurostat local_lau variable is an identifier used by local statistical office abbr is abbreviation of region's name, used for map purposes (usually cars' license plate code; except for Hungary) wikidata is code used by wikidata osm_id is region's relation number in the OpenStreetMap
