Number of people living in the capital and regional cities

Kirov is the regional capital. Therefore, residents of villages and villages flock there. According to statistics from 2022, a population of 500,836 people lives in the heart of the Kirov region. But in 2016 the figures were slightly lower – 495,998 people.

The population growth in Kirov is made up of applicants who come from villages, villages or nearby regions during the period of admission to universities. In addition, the number of residents is replenished by the working population who moved to the regional capital.

In 2015, Kirov took 37th place in the ranking of cities by the number of residents (then the indicators were recorded at 493,336 people).

By gender composition: there are more women than men. The percentage is 56%.

In terms of ethnic composition, Russians predominate. They make up 96% of the total number of residents.

In second place in terms of territorial and economic growth is the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk. In terms of population, it also ranks 2nd - 73,279 citizens. However, this figure is slightly lower compared to other years.

Kirovo-Chepetsk is located in 221st place out of 1112 possible in the list of Russian cities by number of residents.

According to its national composition, the city united the following peoples on its territory:

• Russians (95%);
• Tatars (1.5%);
• Udmurts (1.04%);
• Mari (0.23%).

The third largest city in the Kirov region is Slobodskaya. It has a population of 33,115.

And in 4th place is Vyatskie Polyany with a population of 32,817 inhabitants.

Every year, even in large cities of the Kirov region, there is a tendency for the urban population to decrease. And there are two reasons for this: low birth rate and high death rate. As well as the emigration of the indigenous population to more promising cities. This becomes evidence that these localities have weak economic indicators that affect the standard of living of its residents.

Kirovo-Chepetsk is a small town with a declining population

The population of Kirovo-Chepetsk in 2022 was just over 72 thousand people. For more than 10 years, the number has been falling year after year. Many people are looking for prospects for earning money, so they try to move to larger cities. The population of Kirovo-Chepetsk is characterized by the presence of different religious denominations. Mostly Russians live here. In fact, the town lives off industrial enterprises, one of which is CHPP-3.

Developed public utilities allow the use of relatively high-quality infrastructure. But local residents regularly complain about poor public services, which cannot but be linked to overcrowding. The gradual deterioration of the infrastructure is taking its toll. There is public transport on the streets, but the park is old and, as the residents themselves say, “insufficient.” On the territory of Kirovo-Chepetsk there is a Central Regional Hospital, which lacks doctors of the highest category. In general, this city is characterized by the same problems as many other regional cities in Russia.

Population of the region

Until 1934, the city was called Vyatka, so the oldest residents are often called Vyatchans (erroneously Vyatichi).

The population of the Kirov region, according to statistics, is gradually declining. This is due to the fact that young people are leaving their hometowns for Moscow, as well as other large and more promising cities.

Comparing data from 15 years ago (2002) and the 2017 census, one can see that the population of the Kirov region has decreased by almost 300,000 inhabitants.

As of January 1, 2022, calculations showed that 1292.1 thousand people live in the region. In 2016, their number decreased by 5,400. The reason for this significant decline is low birth rates, but the number of registered deaths is 1.2 times higher.

Ethnic composition

The ethnic composition is about 100 nationalities. Russians are the predominant nationality, making up more than 90% of the total number of residents.

In second place are Belarusians. There are more than 1000 of them in the region. Next come Armenians, Gypsies, Chuvashs, Germans and natives of Moldova. In the Kirov region the population of these nationalities exceeds 1000 people. Once upon a time, the Komi people also belonged to this group of residents. But in the period from 2002 to 2010. There were significantly fewer residents of this ethnic group, by about 300 people. Thus, they dropped out of the group of nationalities numbering more than 1000 residents.

Approximately 60 other nationalities are classified as small in number: their population in the Kirov region ranges from 1 to 10 people. These include:

• Italians;
• Itelmens;
• Mongols;
• Selkups;
• Shors.

As for the territorial distribution, we can say that the largest number of residents is noted in large regional cities. There you can meet Russians, Belarusians, Armenians, Uzbeks, Georgians, etc. But there are only 29% of Mari in the city. Their largest numbers are in the areas of the Kirov region, or more precisely, in towns and villages.

Answer

Chepetsk is the best city on Earth! It's always cozy there. There is a House in it. There is real life in it. In Chepetsk, teachers are not tormented by school, you can eat like human beings, and your home is always warm. Only in Chepetsk can you run on a public skating rink and sit at Vyatka. Only in Chepetsk you want to walk at any time of the day and year, in any weather. Everything here is original. One day I will always live at home!!!

Answer

Sorry, fellow countrymen! But Chepetsk is sadly dying out! And if any of you are talking about dirty Moscow, then here’s my answer - it’s better in dirty Moscow. He spent his childhood and youth in Chepetsk. And it was the glorious beggarly time of the 90s. But apart from childhood, half-forgotten emotions, I don’t feel anything else for Chepetsk.

It’s better not to go to this city, everything there is constantly changing. There is a chance that you will never return from there simply without finding the exit door.

A very beautiful, green (in summer) city. But unfortunately, we ourselves are destroying this beauty with garbage, which we do not throw into trash cans, but simply throw away. People, let's start respecting ourselves and our beloved city

General impression

Small young city. Received city status in 1955. The population is only 76 thousand but has the status of the second in the region) There are fewer old and one-story buildings than high-rise buildings. It is quite compact, although recently it has begun to grow in the wake of cottage areas. In half an hour you can walk to any place in the city. There is a park, a swimming pool, and two recreation centers nearby. 3 colonies. 2 large chemical plants. There are still a bunch of different productions. The industrial zone is located at a distance of 5-10 km from the city, so it is not very annoying. Cycling and cross-country skiing in winter are developed. The roads have gotten better recently.

Everything is gasified. Heating works OK. The water is actually quite hard. During the mass hysteria that we have bad and hard water, a large number of kiosks selling bottled water were built in the city. Now every home has either a filter or purchased water. I personally saw tests of tap water - it is safe to drink. There are no impurities or odors like in other cities.

PS I have 2 filters))

To the sea: The city stands at the mouth of the Cheptsa River. The Cheptsa flows into the Vyatka.

The city beach is 10-15 minutes away.

8 km from the city there is a recreation center with artificially made lakes. It’s very cool to get there by bike. both on the highway and on the mountain because There are options for roads with different surfaces. 10-15 minutes to the Forest. And if you count the Park inside the city, it’s even smaller.

ps Park with a mini zoo.

Attitude towards foreigners

Tajiks are a wonder, not to mention blacks.

Impression from the local people

Normal population. Friendly. Quite cultured.

Climate

The climate is moderate continental. The proximity to the Arctic Ocean makes it possible for cold air to invade. Hence severe frosts in winter, frosts and sudden cold snaps in the summer months.

Average long-term temperature in January: −13.5… −15 °C, July: +17…+19 °C.

The average annual relative humidity is 75-79%.

6 months there is snow, 6 months there is no snow. Warm for 2-3 months.

Education (kindergartens, schools, universities, conferences)

For a small town there are 2-3 universities, 1 music school, 2 sports schools, a couple of gymnasiums and 1 lyceum, not to mention 10 schools. There are enough kindergartens.

Quality of medicine (quality and cost)

At the normal level. Even free.

Language (learning the local language and communicating with locals)

Russian. The accent is closer to Moscow. This is due to the fact that when the city grew in 50-70 years, educated young people from all major cities of the country came here en masse.

In other cities of the Kirov region, the accent on the letter “O” is felt.

When I worked as a salesman and made calls all over the country, our Vyatka accent did not bother me.

Transport (car accessibility, quality of roads, level of driving, cost of gasoline, public transport)

In my opinion, the bus network within the city is well developed. The slots are slowly changing to more spacious and modern ones. in 2014 . Taxi 60 rubles inside the city. price on the bus is 16 rubles. Driving level - t.c. I don’t drive, it seems to me that it’s normal. The cost of gasoline is 32 rubles. - 95th. There is a narrow-gauge railway - the only Ukrainian railway in Russia used as urban public transport.

Travel to other countries: taxi - 40 minutes or bus to the regional center - from there by train to Moscow, or by plane to the same place))

A year ago, routes to Turkey, Egypt and Crimea appeared.

Prices (cost of living, food, entertainment)

Go to a cafe with a girl 600 rub. Well, I’ll overeat for 1000 rubles)) because... I don't drink, I don't count Alcohol. Of course it's more expensive. The cinema was rebuilt. I haven’t tried to count many cafes. There are a lot of shops. In terms of population, there are more shops per inhabitant in the city than in the regional center, and they still continue to build shopping centers.

Jobs (difficulty of finding, salary level)

For IT, getting settled is quite problematic. because There aren't that many vacancies. But if you are with your head, they will tear you off with your hands. In general, the work is stressful and requires mainly people working with their hands and service personnel)) salary. IT - from 15 and above, much higher there are those who earn 80k working at an enterprise without part-time jobs. Just average salary 25 k.

Housing (cost, availability, rent, purchase)

Rent is quite expensive for our small town. You can safely rent an apartment for 8-10 rubles. Buy one-room 1 million. 3-room 2 million. Cottages depending on the cost of land and the cost of materials. from 4-5 million. Although you can buy as an option a good village house (almost a cottage) for 1 million. But not within the city limits.

Crime

As I wrote above, there are 3 colonies within the city. But you can walk around the City at night calmly. Very quiet.

Women men (for dating)

Lots of beautiful girls.

Internet (availability, cost)

There are 4 providers in the City - at least 2 fiber optics are provided to each house. Providers. For my 4th) It’s nice that the prices are 500 rubles. 50mb/s + TV.

They promise optics in every apartment in the future.

Regional economy (crisis, inflation)

It is growing, but not to say that quickly. Inflation is felt.

09/16/2016 20:19 The city is gray and miserable, especially in winter! And in the summer, even in the city center there is knee-deep grass where there should be lawns, I’m not even talking about flowers - a couple of flower beds have been planted at the city administration and that’s it! There are no parks, no squares in the city itself, the embankment is just one name - absolutely not improved. the roads are terrible! a lot of “liquors” and alcoholics. In the area of ​​small families on Lenin, it is generally better not to go out in the evening. The people are rednecks. More or less promising young people leave, in the worst case, for Kirov, or even further away. in general, I lived here for 5 years - I didn’t see any advantages - I’m leaving, and I don’t advise anyone to live here in such a remote place.

Pessimists feel bad everywhere. Change yourself and a lot will change. And such people do not see anything good around them. Don't whine, but try to do something good. Good returns as good, and evil returns as evil.

-Condition of roads, sidewalks, lawns, lack of playgrounds and sports grounds, parking lots, appearance of residential buildings

-There is no catching of wild dogs, no sports grounds (complexes, premises)

-Pedestrian crossings are located inconveniently for pedestrians, especially for children. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE! Recently removed. Utility services do not remove snow debris in a timely manner; sand is not used in slippery areas of pedestrian roads.

The most wonderful city!!! The youngest and most beautiful in the Kirov region! My sisters and my dad were born in Chepetsk. All my life I dreamed of living in Kirovo-Chepetsk and my dream came true!

A very good city and not as dirty as Moscow, which is generally impossible to live in...

Gray, gloomy, dirty city! There is absolutely nowhere to go, no parks, no squares - just a broken-down embankment overgrown with grass, no place to walk with a child, no way to get around in a stroller either in winter or summer, liqueurs and shot glasses all around, a bunch of drunks, no roads, no salaries. In general, I’m leaving here and very happy! Hooray!!!

And the city is, indeed, quite cozy... it would be if it were not for the chemical plant, and, as a result, the terrible air.

The city of my childhood. I come every year. I see extinction, decay, ossification. Since the early 1990s. the population of Chepetsk has decreased by more than 14. Of my 30 classmates (10th school, 11th grade, graduated in 1997), only 11 live in Chepetsk (we checked with the guys in May of this year)! Now the city has only 70 thousand inhabitants.
