In the little region of Fairview where about 1.300.000 people live there are three main metropolitan regions: Bruxelas, the biggest (450,000 inhabitants); Cidade Nova or Nova Cidade, the most populated (600,000 inhabitants) and Entre-Os-Montes (240,000 inhabitants). Also, there are some very small rural communities around the north of the country with no more than 1,000 inhabitants. As the others European states Farviu has a low ratio of children/teenagers per adult. An old population is starting to dominate a considerable percentage of the population: about 23% of the population have more than 65 years old. 16% are children/teenagers and 61% are adults between 20 and 64 years old. However, and because of a strong immigration of people from the East of Europe the regeneration of the population is ensured. The generation renewal is ensured when each couple has more than 2.1 kids. In Fairview, this number is 2.15.
