The population of Nizhny Novgorod. a brief description of

Nizhny Novgorod is one of the largest cities in Russia, which occupies territory on the East European Plain - in a place where the rivers Oka and Volga merge together. The population of Nizhny Novgorod, according to preliminary data as of January 1, 2012, is 1263624 people. By its size, the city is on the first place among the regional centers of the Volga Federal District and in the fifth place in the five largest cities of Russia, behind Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg.

The largest number of people live in the Avtozavodsky district of the city. As a percentage, this represents about 24% of the total number of citizens. And the smallest is Prioksky district, where less than 92,000 people live. The population of Nizhny Novgorod has an average age of just over 40 years, with an average age of 37.1 years for men and 42.9 years for women. As for the ratio of the number of men and women, there are 1027 able-bodied female residents per 1,000 able-bodied males.

The population of Nizhny Novgorod consists of 100 different nationalities. To date, 28 national cultural societies have been registered in the city. Most of them are Russian. They account for more than 80% of the total population.

Despite the high birth rate, the population of Nizhny Novgorod is slowly decreasing. So, if in 2003 it was 1296800 people, then by 2005 the number had decreased to 1283600 people. This situation was observed from year to year. Over the past 9 years, the number of residents of the city has decreased by 33,176 people. According to UN estimates, by 2020 the population of this city will decrease by 11.8% compared to 1990.

And we can not disagree with this. According to statistical data, Nizhny Novgorod, whose population is decreasing, notes a significant increase in the birth rate. So, in 2012, 14818 newborns were registered, which is 9.1% more than in 2011. But this figure can not overtake the number of dead residents. In terms of mortality, Nizhny Novgorod is still in the lead. So, in 2012, there were 18651 deaths. As you can see, they are much larger than those born. And as long as this does not change, it's useless to talk about the growth of residents.

I do not want to finish the story about this city on such a sad note, because in itself it is handsome and attractive. And how many interesting places to see, you can see with your own eyes, when you arrive in Nizhny Novgorod. Sights here at every turn. Perhaps someone will like it. Perhaps it will become a place of further residence. In the meantime, you can just stroll along its green streets, visit the Annunciation Monastery, see the beauty of the Ascension Monastery of the Caves. It will be interesting to visit the Christmas Church, Nizhny Novgorod Fair. And from the attractive places that nature itself created, it is necessary to note the legendary lake Svetloyar, a ravine called the Startsev corner, Lake Vad, Ichalkovsky Bor. A fabulous place is Bolshoy Boldino, once belonging to the Pushkin family. And in Arzamas district there is an amazing corner of nature - Nizhny Novgorod Karelia.
