Harbin's resident population falls below 10 million

　　According to the "2021 Harbin National Economic and Social Development Statistical Bulletin", the city's resident population was 9.885 million at the end of the year.

　　According to the data of "Heilongjiang Statistical Yearbook 2021", the permanent resident population of Harbin will be 10 million by the end of 2020. According to this calculation, the permanent resident population of Harbin will decrease by 116,000 in 2021, falling below the 10 million mark, and thus exiting the city of ten million people ranks.

　　With the withdrawal of Harbin, there is no city with a population of more than 10 million in the Northeast.

　　Harbin's population has naturally negative growth. In 2021, the city's birth population will be 37,000, with a birth rate of 3.9‰; the death population will be 56,000, with a mortality rate of 5.9‰.

The city's natural population growth rate -2.0‰.

　　Harbin is also a microcosm of the population decline in the entire Northeast region.

In recent years, the population exodus from Northeast China has been relatively serious. Local climate factors, economic growth and employment in recent years have led to the exodus of a large number of young people.

Among them, the natural population growth rate of Heilongjiang in 2021 will be -5.11‰, the lowest in the country.

In 2021, the number of migrants outside the city will reach 2,227,700, an increase of 536,000 or 31.7% over 2015.

Under the combined effect of the "one increase and one decrease" of the population outside the city and the population going out of the city, the size of the net outflow from Chongqing has always maintained a downward trend year by year, and the net outflow of the population has improved significantly. The pattern of population mobility has gradually formed.
