Latest Data Shows Lower Population Loss Rate: In the last census period, the rate of population decline was slightly reduced from the previous census period (1982 to 1990). At a minus 1.3 percent, the loss represented the lowest rate since losses resumed in the 1954 to 1962 census period. As in the past, the greatest losses occurred in the inner areas. The Left Bank (5e-7e) experienced the largest 1990 to 1999 population loss, at minus 6.6 percent, while the center arrondissements (1e-4e) registered a minus 4.7 percent. The near northern arrondissements (9e-11e) experienced a minus 2.7 percent rate. In each case of these three inner areas, there was a slight quickening of the rate of loss from the previous census period (1982 to 1990). The outer arrondissements (12e-20e) remained virtually constant, with a loss of 0.1 percent. This compares to a 1.3 percent loss in the previous census period.
