Lifespan
One of the indicators that indicate the standard of living of the population is its expected duration. This indicator is sometimes mistakenly called average life expectancy, but this is not entirely true. Life expectancy is a prediction of how long people born in a given year will live on average.
This figure for the Nizhny Novgorod region for 2014 is 69.5 years; 12 months before that it was 69.4 years. It should be noted that life expectancy in this region as a whole has been increasing since 2004, although in some years there has been a slight drop. The minimum life expectancy in the Nizhny Novgorod region was registered in 2003. Then it was 63.6 years.
It should be noted that in 2014 this figure for women was 76 years, and for men – 63.3 years. For comparison: in Russia as a whole, the life expectancy of the population born in 2014 is 70.9 years. At the same time, for men it is 65.3 years, and for women it is 76.5. Thus, the life expectancy of the population in 2014 in the Nizhny Novgorod region was worse than in the country as a whole.
National composition
Now let's find out the national composition of the region's inhabitants. The population of the Nizhny Novgorod region is quite ethnically diverse. The nationalities that represent the region are quite diverse. But among them the Russians stand out numerically. Currently, their number in the Nizhny Novgorod region is approximately 3110 thousand people, or 93.9% of the population of the entire region. Thus, this nationality has unconditional dominance in this subject of the Federation. This situation has persisted for hundreds of years. It must be said that for the XX-XXI centuries. the percentage of Russians to all residents of the region never fell below 92%.
Among the national minorities inhabiting the Nizhny Novgorod region, Tatars are in first place. This is due to the proximity of the region to the Republic of Tatarstan. The number of Tatars is about 44 thousand people, or 1.33% of the total population. Tatars in terms of number of residents are followed by Mordovians (0.58%), Ukrainians (0.53%), Armenians (0.4%) and Chuvash (0.29%).
Among the population of the Nizhny Novgorod region there are also such exotic nationalities as Koreans and Yezidis, but their number is quite small and does not exceed several thousand people.
Population in other cities of the Nizhny Novgorod region
Now let’s look at how many residents live in the largest settlements of the Nizhny Novgorod region, except for the regional center, which was discussed above.
The population of Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region, ranks second in size after N. Novgorod in the region. The number of residents of this city is 234.3 thousand people. It should be noted that the dynamics of growth in the number of people living in this locality is negative.
Other largest cities in the region include Arzamas (104.8 thousand people), Sarov (94.4 thousand people) and Bor (78.4 thousand people). In the last two settlements there is a positive dynamics of population growth.
Population density
Density can be calculated by knowing the number of people in the Nizhny Novgorod region and the area of the territory occupied by them.
The area of the region is 76,624 square meters. km. Thus, by simple calculations it can be established that the average population density of the Nizhny Novgorod region is 42.6 people/sq. km. This is the 23rd result out of 85 regions of the country. If we do not take into account the population density in regions whose main territory is cities, then the Nizhny Novgorod region will be in 20th place. For comparison: in the most populated region of the country (Moscow), the population density is 164.9 people/sq. km, and in the most deserted region (Chukchi Autonomous Okrug) – 0.1 people/sq. km.
So the Nizhny Novgorod region looks good in the all-Russian statistics on population density. The area and population of this region are correlated in such a way that the number of people living here is higher than in a significant part of other subjects of the Federation.
