The city of Lyon lost inhabitants between 2021 and 2022, according to the latest INSEE census published Thursday December 19, 2024. But the trend is not not the same everywhere in the city: some districts are gaining population while others are losing it.

The 7th arrondissement gains residents

The population of the 1st arrondissement stagnates in 2022, like that of the 3rd, 5th and 9th arrondissements, which see very slight increases. The 2nd arrondissement lost a few hundred inhabitants, just like the 4th.

The biggest gaps take place in the 6th and 8th arrondissement, which lose more than 1,000 inhabitants each, while the 7th saves honor by winning more than 1,500 souls. Below, here is the complete list according to INSEE as well as the average annual rate of variation.
