History of Population in Paris

After World War I, the population of Paris first reached 3 million inhabitants. The war was over, and many people were moving to the city in order to have access to merchants and various goods that were hard to find elsewhere in the country. The city began to bustle shortly after the war and was one of the first parts of France that began to recuperate. For the rest of the 20th century, the population began to decline slightly, and by the 1960s, it fell dramatically to 2.2 million people. During this time period, other large cities around the world including London and New York City also saw a major decrease in their populations. At the beginning of the 21st century, France's population began to rise again, and between 1999 and 2009, there was a consistent growth of approximately 100,000 people per year. This is due to the large amount of people aged 18-40 living in the area that had children.

Parisian People

The people who live in and around Paris are very different from those who live in other parts of France. Not only is their income higher and the median age of people in the city is younger than that of France as a whole (which is 41.1 years), but they also live very active lives and are fairly relaxed. One of the reasons that many people live in and around Paris is due to the high wages in the city. In the Parisian region, higher wages are normal, and people can make more money in the city doing a job than they can in the countryside doing the same field. The average household income in Paris is approximately 36,085 Euros, which is 60% higher than France's national average. However, wages fluctuate depending on the arrondissement around Paris. For example, median income in the 7th arrondissement is over 41,000 Euros. In general, people who live in the Western parts Paris make more money than those who live in other parts of the city.

The people of Paris are also quite diverse. Paris is considered the most diverse city in Europe, and it is estimated that around 23% of the population migrated to Paris sometime after they were born. Many of these people also immigrated to France. 20% of the Parisian population consists of first generation immigrants, and at least 40% of children who live in Paris have one parent who was a first generation immigrant. Immigration levels are very high in Paris, and emigration levels are almost just as high. People tend to immigrate to the city when they are young, yet once they reach retirement age, they migrate to the countryside in order to live a more peaceful and less expensive life.
