NUTS 2024, v1

The Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics, abbreviated NUTS (from the French version Nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques) is a geographical nomenclature subdividing the economic territory of the European Union (EU) into regions at three different levels - NUTS 1, 2 and 3 respectively, moving from larger to smaller territorial units.

The nomenclature is intended to enable the collection, compilation, and dissemination of European statistics at various territorial levels of the EU.

The NUTS nomenclature is hierarchically structured and is based on the principles of already established administrative units, as well as population size. For further insights into the principles underlying the nomenclature's structure, please visit Eurostat's website.

The NUTS is based on Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS), which is regularly updated.
