According to the latest statistics from INSEE, the Gironde is the department where the population increased the most between 2013 and 2018, tied with Haute-Garonne and Hérault.
With 1.6 million inhabitants, the Gironde concentrates more than a quarter of the regional population, followed by the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Charente-Maritime.

Between 2013 and 2018, its population grew on average each year by 0.5%: it thus gained 136,000 inhabitants, despite a lower number of births than deaths.
