Ústí nad Labem Region or Ústecký Region ((チェコ語:Ústecký kraj)), also Region Aussig (after the German name of the capital), is an administrative unit ((チェコ語:kraj)) of the Czech Republic, located in the north-western part of its historical land of Bohemia and the whole country. It is named after its capital Ústí nad Labem. It covers the majority of the former North Bohemia province and is part of the broader area of North Bohemia. The region neighbors with the Liberec Region (east), the Central Bohemian Region (south), Plzeň Region (shortly in the southwest), the Karlovy Vary Region (west) and Saxony (Germany, in the north). The region is divided into seven districts: Děčín District, Chomutov District, Litoměřice District, Louny District, Most District, Teplice District and Ústí nad Labem District; and further into 16 ORP districts (administrative districts of the municipalities with extended competence). The area of the Ústí region comprises a unique mixture of very different types of landscape. Between the high escarpment of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) range and the picturesque Bohemian Central Uplands (České středohoří) with many volcanic hills, we can find vast areas devastated by surface coal mining (the North Bohemian Basin), partly being recultivated into an artificial landscape with ponds, plains and groves. The Elbe river runs through the Central Uplands in a winding gorge of the Porta Bohemica. Southern part of the region is flat and fertile (Polabí), while in the northeast there are sandstone formations of the so-called Bohemian Switzerland, including the monumental Pravčická brána (gate). The location predestines the region a significant position in the international economic and cultural co-operation. The geographical position (proximity to Prague and Germany) is therefore a significant factor in region’s development.〔The Usti Region, Available online at: http://www.kr-ustecky.cz/EN/〕 ==Population== As of June 30, 2013 the region had 826,037 inhabitants. It ranks fifth in the Czech Republic. Population density is higher than the national average, and the region is the fourth most densely populated in the country. The most densely populated areas of the region are the areas on the brown coal basin while areas with a lower population density are the Ore Mountains and the Louny District and Litoměřice District, in which predominantly smaller country settlements are placed. The largest municipality is Ústí nad Labem, the region's seat, with 95,477 inhabitants. The Ústí nad Labem region is notable for its relatively young population; the average age is 39.8 years. The Ústí nad Labem Region ranks second-highest in the Czech Republic in the number of live births per 1,000 inhabitants together with the Liberec Region (11.5), but also has one of the highest mortality rates (10.6 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants). The Ústí nad Labem Region ranks second nationally in the number of divorces per 1,000 inhabitants (3.4) and first in the number of abortions per 100 live births (47.5). The region has 46 cities, in which 80.7% of its inhabitants reside, and 354 villages. 54% of the region's villages have a population greater than 500, but only 5.8% of the region's inhabitants live there.〔The Usti Region, Available online at: http://www.kr-ustecky.cz/EN/〕 The composition of the population according to nationality: *Czech: 92.12% *Slovak: 2.71% *German: 1.25% *Romani: 0.23% *Polish: 0.2% *Moravian: 0.13% *Other: 3.45% Cities and towns The table below shows the population of the largest cities and towns of the region as of 31 December 2012.
