Population of Beloretsk

In 2017, the number of residents of Beloretsk amounted to 65 thousand 801 people. The population curve follows that of many other Russian cities, especially those that were industrially oriented and developed rapidly during the Soviet period. So, until 1989 there was a steady increase in the number of inhabitants. Its maximum was reached in 1987 and amounted to 75 thousand people. At the same time, only 8,300 people lived in the city in 1897.

All these data are provided by the State Statistics Service.

Obviously, the decline in the population of Beloretsk, which has been observed in recent decades, is due to the focus of the local economy on heavy industries, which are now going through hard times. The remaining areas are underdeveloped. This situation contributes to the outflow of residents to larger cities, as well as a decrease in the birth rate, and has a much less effect on the death rate. The immediate reason for leaving may be the lack of suitable work and / or low wages, that is, underemployment of the population of Beloretsk.

In some cities, the depressing ecology associated with the operation of enterprises, as well as increased mortality due to pollution, is a considerable incentiveenvironment. The situation with water and air pollution in Beloretsk is not specially covered in the literature, which is due to the low popularity and size of this city. However, the size of the city is too small so that the single production facilities available there could greatly worsen the environment. In addition, the city borders on the forests of the Ural Mountains. However, due to temperature inversions in winter, smoke from industries can concentrate near the ground, which can increase air pollution.
