13:01 – Montpellier demographic data reveals electoral trends
Montpellier’s demographics and socio-economic situation help shape the interests and concerns of residents, and therefore their influence on legislative elections.

The rate of families with at least one car (61.03%) highlights a dependence on the automobile. This factor could influence the 72,984 voters on transport and environmental issues. On the other hand, the presence of a foreign population of 13.96% and an immigrant population of 17.90% highlights the influence of migratory flows on local demographics. The percentage of students, 14.96% in Montpellier, highlights the presence of a young and educated population who are wondering about access to employment after their studies.

In April 2022, during the first round of the presidential election, 72.45% of eligible voters in the urban area took part in the vote, to compare with a participation of 65.5% in the second round, i.e. i.e. 106,596 people. For the record, in the agglomeration, participation in the 2022 legislative elections amounted to 44.36% in the first round and only 43.92% in the second round. The surge in the prices of raw materials which is weighing down family finances, combined with concerns due to the war in Ukraine, would be likely to strengthen the civic engagement of the inhabitants of Montpellier.
