Between 2008 and 2013, the city had gained more than 25,000 inhabitants, a growth of 1.1% on average each year. Since 2013, growth has been limited to 0.7% with 22,000 additional residents.

The third, the most populous in the city with some 100,000 residents, is still growing at a rate of 0.6% per year.
