The most densely populated urban settlement
The most densely populated urban settlement in Slovenia was Piran in the municipality of the same name where an average square kilometre of the settlement's surface area had almost 5,500 residents. If we were to populate the entire surface area of Slovenia this densely, we would need more than 111 million people.

If the entire country was populated this sparsely, it would have fewer than 950 residents.
Settlements without children, settlements without the elderly
Five settlements of at least 30 residents had no residents under 15 years of age. The largest of such settlements was Završje in municipality Trbovlje: it had a population of 42, but no residents aged younger than 15.
