Understanding baden-Württemberg population under age 6
This indicator counts all children who have not reached their sixth birthday and are registered with their primary domicile in Baden-Württemberg at year-end. As the most granular early-childhood category in the municipal register breakdown, it sits inside both the under-16 and under-18 cohorts, tracking individuals prior to typical statutory primary schooling. Unregistered infants and children whose main residence is listed outside the state are excluded.
Because this age bracket spans precisely six single years of life, it responds rapidly to recent variations in annual live births and infant migration. Year-on-year variations capture emerging shifts in early-years cohorts, though users should remember that adjustments arising from post-census roll-forward corrections can alter the baseline independently of recent maternity records.
