Current data
The territory of the region is home to 5,675,462 people. It is considered the only region where the population exceeded the 10% threshold after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The city is known for its fertile soil and hardworking population. Residents of the northern regions stay in the city, they come from the Far East of the country, Siberia, central Russia, CIS countries (especially from Ukraine) since in spring and summer fruit trees and berries grow on every corner of their home plots; more than 10 cities are considered resort cities and invite you to relax on the coast of the Black or Azov Sea.
In the Krasnodar region there are large areas of abandoned territories. The region ranks third in population density after Moscow. More than 100 different nationalities live, this does not prevent the Kuban people from remaining welcoming and friendly. Residents of provincial cities support agriculture, since the salary level is low.
Ethnic composition
The main national composition is Russian - 4,522,962, in total, 124 ethnic groups live on the territory of Kuban: Armenians - 281,600, Ukrainians - 83,800, Tatars - 24,900, Greeks - 22,600, Georgians - 17,900, Belarusians - 16,900. Georgia has one border with the region and is washed by Black Sea. The site is occupied by Ossetians and Koreans, Lezgins and Uzbeks, Chuvash and Chechens, Abkhazians and Kabardians.
Forecast
The forecast for Kuban is favorable, despite the fact that the capital Krasnodar is located on a thin platform of the earth's surface, under which an underground sea flows. Therefore, soil corrosion and the construction of multi-story buildings are extremely undesirable. Unfortunately, young people and guests of Krasnodar are attracted only by the capital of Kuban, since only here the infrastructure is developed, there are medical centers, scientific organizations, hypermarkets, and large complexes selling comfort goods.
There are many abandoned villages, desert areas, and closed factories in the Kuban. According to official data, about 400 people per 100,000 healthy population suffer from cancer. This terrible figure is associated with environmental pollution, the release of carbon dioxide and petroleum products into the atmosphere, rivers, and clean ponds. Malignant cancer has become the scourge of the younger generation. The disease affects people of working age and children, less often pensioners.
It is worth noting that only in Krasnodar residents have an average salary of 20,000 -35,000 rubles. In provincial cities, workers are deprived of this opportunity, and the average salary is 18,000 rubles, moreover, the cost of food and utility tariffs are rising uncontrollably. Almost every Kuban resident has a plot where they can plant vegetables and fruits and fruit trees.
The intellectual industry is well developed; there are more than 100 universities, schools, colleges, and institutes of various fields. The mentality of Kuban residents is for the most part “farmer”, but friendly; you will rarely meet a timid and notorious native resident on the street. Kuban bread, butter and flour are distributed for sale to the eastern and central parts of the country by rail.
Migration
Every year hundreds to thousands of people migrate to the Krasnodar region from the northern part and central Russia. Hoping to get a better and easier life. True, the land on the territory is fertile; cherry plums and apples, plums and pears grow at every step. Residents of Georgia, Abkhazia, and Ossetia also migrate to the Krasnodar Territory. Population growth during the period of an imaginary coronavirus infection stopped due to a ban on exit and entry.
From January to April, 21,900 people managed to move into the Krasnodar Territory. More than half came from the CIS countries (Ukrainians). The indigenous population mainly moves to Greece, Abkhazia and Germany. Kuban is a production center for growing wheat.
Marriages and divorces
Based on official data, it has been established that marriages are registered more often than divorces. The number of divorces exceeds the normative level by 70%; last year, 715 divorces per 1,000 marriages were calculated. The gloomy picture is due to starvation wages and insufficient jobs. In provincial cities with a population of less than 100,000 people, there are no vacancies in budgetary organizations, because now pensioners whose retirement age has been extended work there.
The real figure for the average salary is 18,000 rubles, which differs significantly from the official data, which are advertised daily in the news feed and repeatedly duplicated on television channels by the administration of the Krasnodar Territory. Minimum income and lack of jobs cause family breakdown.
