Paderborn's population shrinks: Refugee numbers!

In the small town of Neuhaus in Germany, the Detmold district government noticed a significant change in the refugee occupancy of the former Dempsey barracks. Currently there are only around 178 people left there, which is a strong decline compared to previous months. This is a significant decline, as a few months ago lived there around four times as many refugees. These changes contribute to a general decline in the population in Neuhaus Castle, which fell from 27,794 to 27,269 people at the end of August 2024.

Over the past few months, migration movements have had a significant impact on the region's population. According to the figures published by the city, there were 675 moves in August, but also 908 moves, which led to a negative population growth. This is particularly noteworthy, since the moves reached the highest number of the year in August.

However, the birth process shows a positive turn. In the previous year there was a slight birth surplus, which with 135 newborns and 120 deaths had a netache of +15. This was the second time this year that natural population development was positive. Only April was the month with a plus of 6 births with the highest increase.

The interaction between suits, continues and natural population development outlines a dynamic picture. While the municipality is fighting with a decline, it turns out that the migration movements in particular have increasingly tangible effects on the number of residents. So the numbers of the Syrian refugees decreased; At the moment, only 2,527 people from Syria live in Paderborn. Interestingly, the Ukrainian refugee group has grown moderately in the past few months, with 2,826 people who were registered in Paderborn at the end of August 2024. It is particularly striking that the Ukrainians now form the largest group of the foreign population in the city after they have replaced the Syrians in this ranking.

Before the Ukraine decline, only about 260 people from Ukraine lived permanently in Paderborn. The current situation shows how migration from crisis areas influences demographic structures in Germany. In order to further understand the closer circumstances of these developments, extensive data is required.

The city of Paderborn attentively observes these changes because they could have both local and national importance. For detailed information and current developments in the region, interested readers can the report of www.westfalen-blatt.de use.
