YES
The mathematical logic, cold and implacable, reflects a very slight erosion of the population of Thionville. According to INSEE, a master in accounting expertise, Thionville totaled, at 1is January 2018, 40,477 inhabitants. Twelve months earlier, the demographic assessment of the capital of Portes de France stood at 40,701 inhabitants. The drop, anecdotal (-224), does not call into question the place of the Moselle city, still on the third step of the podium of the most populous cities of Lorraine (behind Metz and Nancy). But it still follows a curve that has struggled to engage in an upward dynamic since… 1999 (40,907 inhabitants).
With the exception of a brief rebound in 2012 (41,325 inhabitants), Thionville is unable to break this glass ceiling of 41,000 inhabitants. For fans of figures and anecdotes, note that the population record begins to date with 43,020 Thionvillois listed by INSEE in 1975.

NON
“We are gaining inhabitants. “No, Pierre Cuny does not fall into the era of” Trumpism “, this political philosophy new wave aiming to deny the obvious … The mayor of Thionville just requires patience.
For the time being, its housing policy remains invisible to National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies. For good reason: the census delivered by INSEE is still two years late. But according to the elected official, taxed by his strongest opponents of “concrete mayor”, the urbanization of the city, and more particularly the establishment of new constructions on the Right Bank, should bear fruit on the demographic level from here little. “Below the threshold of 200 new homes, as was the case over the 2008-2014 period, Thionville loses inhabitants,” he says. We are now on a rate of 600 housing units since 2016. Thionville has therefore already started to gain inhabitants. “Gain that he estimates, from 2020, of 400 to 600 inhabitants per year. This sustained growth should lead Thionville to the threshold of “50,000 inhabitants in 2035”. The veracity (or not) of this prophecy will be easy to follow by referring to the next reports from INSEE.
