NUTS LAU
To meet the demand for statistics at a local level, Eurostat maintains a system of Local Administrative Units (LAUs) compatible with NUTS. These LAUs are the building blocks of the NUTS, and comprise the municipalities and communes of the European Union. Until 2016, two levels of Local Administrative Units (LAU) existed:The upper LAU level (LAU level 1, formerly NUTS level 4) were defined for most, but not all of the countries, and, the lower LAU level (LAU level 2, formerly NUTS level 5) consisted of municipalities or equivalent units in the 28 EU Member States. Since 2017, only one level of LAU has been kept. The LAUs are administrative for reasons such as the availability of data and policy implementation capacity, a subdivision of the NUTS 3 regions covering the whole economic territory of the Member States, and appropriate for the implementation of local level typologies included in TERCET, namely the coastal area and Degree of Urbanisation (DEGURBA) classification.Since there are frequent changes to the LAUs, Eurostat publishes an updated list towards the end of each year. Until 2019, The LAUs in Ireland correspond to the Electoral Division (Statistical CSO) boundary. However since 2019, the LAUs for Ireland reflect the Local Electoral Areas as defined in Local Electoral Areas and Municipal District Orders 2018 (SI nos 27/2019 and 28/2019).
