Geneva’s population grew modestly last year.
There are 5,900 new people now living in the canton. It’s mainly immigration, but a significant minority of the figures can be accounted by a low mortality rate last year with only 2,952 deaths, the lowest since in 1979.
Most of the new arrivals in the canton came for work or study.
In total, 220,000 live in the canton, with over 40% non-Swiss. Nearly, 60% are EU or EFTA nationals. 13% are other European nationals, 9% from the Americas – both north and south - and 9% from Africa.
