Bryansk is the administrative center of the Bryansk region, a city of regional significance. As of January 1, 2016, it was on the 49th line of the rating of Russian cities by the number of residents. So the population of Bryansk is 405, 921 people.
Specific traits
Of course, if you come to the Bryansk region, visit its center - the city of Bryansk. Its population is not numerous. It must be admitted that in 1998 the number almost reached 460, 000 people, respectively, there is a tendency to decrease.
The largest increase in the population of the city of Bryansk reached in the period 1970-1989. During this time, it has grown by 130, 000 people, which is really impressive. But, in truth, this is the only period with such successful results.
There are several more women in the city than men. The difference is especially noticeable when studying older people. Premature mortality in men is the main reason for this trend. An aging population is another important characteristic. The average life expectancy in Bryansk is 40 years. Just think about this number! Yes, and this is not the worst. In Bryansk, there are already one and a half times more pensioners and old people than children and adolescents. The able-bodied population will barely make up half of all local residents.
District distribution
Four large areas are what distinguishes Bryansk. Its population is also distributed in these areas. So, in the Soviet district, about 111 654 people live. This is perhaps the most landscaped and comfortable for living section of the city. The most densely populated is considered the industrial Bezhitsky district, about 153, 000 citizens live here. Approximately the same number of people live in Volodarsky and Fokinsky districts - about 70, 000.
The population of the regions of Bryansk makes up the big picture. Of course, it is necessary to take into account the inhabitants of the adjacent territories: the village of Raditsa-Krylovka, Bolshoy Polpino, Belye Berega. About 18, 000 residents are concentrated here, but at the moment they are settlements included in various districts of the city.
Mortality and birth rate
Recently, the city of Bryansk is not at all happy with the news. The population is literally dying, and the mortality rate does not stop growing. The main causes of death are diseases of the cardiovascular system, injuries at work, accidents, and also cancer. If we talk about mortality among young people, then most often it is an accident.
As for fertility, it remains unchanged, which leads to a reduction in the population in the city. Unstable economic situation in the city, lack of decent earnings force families to limit themselves to one child, families with two or more children are quite few.
