Demographics
The population boomed in the Industrial Revolution, but economic slowdown of the 1970s affected Thionville and areas, causing a population decrease. The population rose again in the 1990s and in suburban Hettange-Grande in the east, although the population of the western part of the new agglomeration is decreasing around Hayange. The agglomeration is still losing population but the decrease has been slowed down.
