Historical data

In the first years after the founding of the city, the population density was approximately 20,000 inhabitants. Every year the population increased, and soon reached 100,000 people.

The positive dynamics of population growth is increasing every year. One of the key factors contributing to progression is an established fertility process. Families in the city of Kazan are large. Often parents raise at least 2 children. Another positive aspect contributing to the increase in population is that in Kazan the birth rate is higher than the death rate (the demographic situation in the region was negative until 2009).

The density and number of residents of the capital of Tatarstan is increasing due to residents who come to the city for a stable and significant income. According to official data, 70% of the city's population are people of working age. Accordingly, children and the elderly have approximately equal percentages in the population – 15% each.

Modern Kazan is a city of millions, which is divided into 7 large administrative and industrial districts. In view of these facts, there is a strong overcrowding of residents in some areas, and a large overcrowding of industrial sectors in others, respectively.

Story

Khan period

Having been founded as a northwestern outpost of the Bulgars, Kazan for a long time did not play a significant role in the life of Volga Bulgaria, and therefore it is impossible to estimate the population of the city with any accuracy. The first estimates of the population of Kazan date back to the era of the Kazan Khanate: mid-16th century century, from ≈25,000 to 100,000 people lived in the city, mostly Tatars by nationality. The subsequent capture of the city in 1552 was accompanied by complete ruin and depopulation, the population of Kazan fell many times, while the national composition of the city also changed dramatically - it became predominantly Russian.

Imperial period

According to the general census of 1738, 192,422 people lived in Kazan, which is more than in any other city of the Empire. However, although such statements are found in some sources, calling Kazan largest city Russia of that time is incorrect, since in the general census the population of the city was taken into account with a county with an area of ​​about 5 thousand km², which also included numerous peasants from the surrounding villages and hamlets. With some stretch it can be said in modern terms that in the middle of the 18th century Kazan had the most populated metropolitan area (full urban agglomeration) in the Russian Empire.

In 1907, 81.7% of Kazan residents were Russian.

Soviet period

With the revolution and the subsequent Civil War associated with a noticeable demographic failure - in 3 years the population is reduced by more than a quarter.

Subsequently, throughout the Soviet period of history, Kazan experienced significant growth. In the pre-war years of intensive industrialization, sharp growth was associated with the creation of new industrial sites in the riverine and eastern parts of the city and the command-administrative attraction of labor for their construction and subsequent work in new plants and factories. The city's population doubled.

During the Great Patriotic War Kazan received a significant number of evacuees from Western and northwestern parts countries of large factories and all-Union scientific organizations along with a large number of civilians. The city's population almost doubled, and after the war, a significant part of the evacuees settled in Kazan, increasing its total population by almost one and a half times.

In the following decades, the city's major growth continued due to urbanization. Due to the fact that in rural areas The TASSR, where the bulk of migration to the city came from, was dominated by Tatars, the shares of the Russian and Tatar population were leveling off, first to parity values, and by the end of the Soviet period the Tatar share began to predominate and further increase.

The millionth resident of the city was born in 1979. Contrary to the prevailing belief of even some Kazan residents, this was not achieved artificially through the annexation of the large exclave villages of Yudino and Derbyshki, which became parts of the city long (four decades) before.

Modern period

Depopulation observed since the early 1990s. in almost all Russian cities including millionaires, did not appear in Kazan, and the city continued to grow. In the list of Russian cities by population, the city rose from 10th to 6th place. Although the birth rate continued to remain lower than the death rate until 2009 (when natural population growth was recorded), the resulting increase in the city's population was associated with the migration influx and the inclusion of new settlements within the city. At the same time, the population of the annexed territories was about 20 thousand people (about 14 thousand in 14 villages in 1998, about 2 thousand in 2 villages in 2001, about 4 thousand in 5 villages in 2008), and the population growth of the city amounted to 52 thousand people. A larger (by another 30 thousand people) increase in the city’s population due to the proposal proposed and defended in 2003-2004. The administration of the mayor of Kazan Iskhakov did not increase the territory of the city by annexing Vasilyevo and the surrounding area due to the fact that these plans met with opposition from the district authorities and were not supported by the republican leadership.

According to the master plan for the development of the city, in force since 2007, due to some further annexation of new territories to the city and the development of them and previously annexed lands through the construction of new blocks of mass multi-storey residential development and settlements of individual cottage construction, it is planned to increase the population of the city to 1 million 123 thousand in 2010, 1 million 180 thousand in 2020 and 1 million 500 thousand in 2050. In 2010, the planned indicators were exceeded - the city’s population amounted to 1 million 139 thousand.

In addition, the already partially implemented and planned further virtually unbroken expansion of Kazan in the western direction (Zalesny - Orekhovka - Vasilyevo), including the construction of a 100,000-person “bedroom” multi-story satellite city “Salavat Kupere” starting in 2012 under the socio-economic program after Zalesny and the proposed creation by the republican authorities of another satellite city “Green Dol” between Vasilyevo and Zelenodolsk for 157 thousand people. , make it possible in the future to join Kazan from its agglomeration not only of Orekhovka, Vasilyevo, but also of these satellite cities and Zelenodolsk with a population of 100 thousand.

Kazan is one of the most multinational territories of Russia: representatives of over 115 nationalities live in the city. The two largest nationalities in Kazan are Russians (48.6% or 554.5 thousand people according to the 2010 census) and Tatars (47.6% or 542.2 thousand people). Also represented in the city are Chuvash (0.8% or 9.0 thousand people), Ukrainians (0.4% or 4.8 thousand people), Mari (0.3% or 3.7 thousand people). ), Bashkirs (0.2% or 1.8 thousand people), Udmurts (0.1% or 1.4 thousand people), etc.
