Eagle - is a small and beautiful city, 350 kilometers from the Russian capital.It is the center of the homonymous province - Orel.
Eagle - a city on the Oka
city is situated on both banks of the Oka River.For many Russians, he is known for the huge figure of an eagle, mounted on a central square.
unusual name of this settlement is associated with an interesting legend, according to which the city is so styled himself Ivan the Terrible.In 1566, the king ordered to build on this site a powerful fortress that protects the state from periodic attacks of Crimean Tatars from the south.When builders began to harvest timber in the local woods, then one of the old oak trees fell off a huge and luxurious eagle."And here is the master of the city!"- Said one of the men.Hearing the remark, Ivan the Terrible ordered and called the city of the future - Eagle.
In the same article we pay attention to population issues of the village and the region.
Eagle Population: the data of the last census
The results of the last census in Orel capture the instability of the demographic situation in the city.So, for the period from 2002 to 2010 the total population of the city of Eagle has decreased by almost 18 thousand people.For 300-thousand's a lot of it.
causes of urban depopulation is typical for most regions of modern Russia - the death rate much higher than the birth rate.The average life expectancy is 70 years orlovchan.And between male and female half of the city in this indicator there is a significant advantage in favor of women (76 and 64 respectively).
The only positive trend, which is observed today in the demographics of the city - it's a little positive migration growth of its population.
If we consider the population of Eagle terms of territorial distribution, most of all the people living in the Zavodskoy district of the city (every third orlovchanin lives right here).Least of all residents registered in the Railway area (only 20%).
ethnic structure of the city fairly monolithic: about 97% of the population is Russian.Besides them, the Eagle was the birthplace for the Ukrainians (1.1%), Armenians (0.4%), Belarusians (0.3%) and other nationalities.
Eagle population and its dynamics by years
At the beginning of 2015, the city is home to 317,000 residents.Exactly one hundred years ago orlovchan it was three times less.Until the early 90s the city's population is stable growth.But then demographers began to record his annual reduction.
historical maximum population Eagle was recorded in 1995 (344,000 people).But from 2000 to 2014 the number of residents declined by exactly 25 thousand.
Main demographic problems
Eagle Eagle population, alas, is reduced.And it is doubly a shame, if we take into account the almost ideal for living climatic conditions and a clean environment of the village.Winter is rather mild (by Russian standards, of course), summer - not too hot.In the surroundings - beautiful nature.It would seem that the city should attract a huge number of people willing to live in it.But there is one big "but."
In Soviet times, the Eagle was established a number of industrial enterprises.Among them - a rolling, glass, as well as factories for the production of machines and devices.Today, however, all of these companies are in the process of closing.Therefore, the prospects for life in the city are still very vague.
to Eagle characterized by a high unemployment rate - 2.2 percent.In addition, in the near future without a job remain several hundred people working at one of the enterprises.City officials, of course, trying to somehow solve this problem.In particular, the mayor's office, for its part, strongly contributes to the development of private enterprise in the city.
Apart from depopulation and unemployment, this subject of the Russian Federation is characterized by another acute demographic problem.This general "aging" orlovchan.Every year in Orel born smaller kids, so the age pyramid in the city are increasingly shifting towards older people.However, this problem is typical of most of the modern Russian (and Europe in general) settlements.
population of the Oryol region
765,231 - it is this population of the Oryol region is fixed at the beginning of 2015.The population density in this region is low and amounts to 31 people per square meter.
demographic situation in the region as a whole is similar to the situation in the city of Orel.The processes of depopulation began in the area in the early 1990s and continues today.
The ethnic structure of the region is dominated by Russian residents (about 96 percent).Next come the Ukrainians (1%), Armenians (0.5%), Azerbaijanis (0.28%) and Belarusians (0.24%).
Orlovchane say on the southern dialect of Russian language, one of the special features of which is the so-called "Akane."
In conclusion ...
population of the town of Eagle continues to decline.If at the beginning of the 1990s there lived about 340 thousand people, today - only 317,000.In addition to the depopulation of the city is characterized and other acute social problems - "aging" orlovchan and large jobs deficit.
