The Republic of Tatarstan ranks eighth in terms of population among other subjects and regions of the Russian Federation, behind Moscow and the Moscow Region, Krasnodar Territory, St. Petersburg, Sverdlovsk and Rostov Regions, as well as the Republic of Bashkortostan. The population of Tatarstan is distinguished by a diverse ethnic composition, a fairly high number of urban residents even in comparison with the average data for the country, and a positive growth trend over the past ten years.
Dynamics of the population of Tatarstan
The first statistics on the population of the republic began to be collected in 1926 - six years after the formation of the Tatar Autonomy within the Soviet Union. The population of the Republic of Tatarstan then amounted to just over two and a half million inhabitants.
Since the establishment of Soviet power, the dynamics of the population has been positive. Even in the difficult 1990s, the population of Tatarstan increased annually by at least ten to twenty thousand people. Record annual growth inThe 90s was recorded in 1993 (compared to the previous period) and amounted to 27 thousand people.
Growth slowed down in 2001. The negative trend continued until 2007. It is likely that the decline in the birth rate and the simultaneous increase in mortality were associated mainly with the general demographic crisis in the Russian Federation. The reasons for this phenomenon are:
- poor quality of medical care;
- high level of violence, unfavorable crime situation;
- alcoholization of the population;
- poor environmental situation in the country;
- non-spread of he althy lifestyle ideas;
- generally poor standard of living.
At the beginning of 2017, the population of Tatarstan is three million and almost nine hundred thousand people. This is 18,000 more than the previous year and 31,000 more than the 2015 census.
Localities by population
Expectedly, the capital of the republic, the city of Kazan, is the leader in terms of numbers. 31% of all inhabitants of the region (1.2 million people) live there. The population of the Republic of Tatarstan by cities further distributes settlements in the following order:
- Naberezhnye Chelny (13% of the population).
- Nizhnekamsk (6%).
- Almetyevsk (almost 4%).
- Zelenodolsk (2.5%).
Followed by Bugulma, Yelabuga, Leninogorsk, Chistopol and other cities of the republic.
Below is a map with city symbols commensurate with the percentagethe ratio of the number of residents of the municipality compared to other settlements of the republic.
The number of urban residents in Tatarstan is 76%, which indicates a high level of urbanization in the region.
Ethnic composition of inhabitants
The population of Tatarstan is distinguished by a significant national diversity. The main ethnic group is represented by the Tatars (53% of the inhabitants), followed by the Russian population (almost 40% of the inhabitants of the republic). Other groups are represented by Chuvashs, Udmurts, Mordovians, Ukrainians, Maris, Bashkirs and many other nationalities and ethnic formations. A total of 7% of the inhabitants of the republic indicated during the census nationality other than Tatars or Russians.
The number of the indigenous people of the republic, by the way, is gradually increasing. If in 1926 the Tatars made up 48.7% of the population, then by 2002 the figure increased by 4.2%. The share of Russians, respectively, is decreasing: from 43% in 1926 to 39.5-39.7% in 2002-2010. Tatars form the majority in 32 of the republic's 43 localities, while Russians form the majority in 10. In another municipality, the Chuvash make up the largest population group.
