Abstract
The specialized map aims to assess the development and spatial differentiation of the population structure in Prague by marital status in the course of the 20th and early 21st century. The data are based on censuses and apply to population older than 15 years.
Despite excluding children, the data are influenced by the age structure of the population, especially by the number/percentage of singles (marriage may be entered into only by people who have reached age of majority, which was 21 years until 1945, today it is 18 years) and widowed persons (it is also linked to the percentage of older people in the population). In 1921-1950, the results refer to the actual population, in 1980-2001 to permanent residents and in 2011 to usually resident population.
All analyses are based only on the amount of people who stated their marital status in the census form. The share of those who did not state it was highest in 2011 when it amounted to 1 %.
