The trend suggests both demographic growth within the city and the internationalisation of its demographics. Its population size rising by nearly 3,000, Luxembourg City shows itself as a dynamic city and will certainly breach the symbolic bar of 120,000 within the next year.
Non-citizens have essentially pushed the growth of the city’s population, as a net number of 8,752 people have settled from abroad.
In total, 84,159 non-Luxembourgers live in the city, making up 70.59% of its population.
The biggest non-Luxembourgish group in the capital is the French, making up 17.2% of its total population. The French are followed by the Portuguese at 10.3%, then Italians at 7%, and Belgians at 3.8%.
In terms of the population breakdown by neighbourhood, the station neighbourhood is the one with the largest foreign population (84%).
Cents, on the contrary, is the only neighbourhood with a Luxembourgish majority (50.6%).
