      As of January 1, 2025, the population of Kazan exceeded 1.3 million people, allowing the city to take fifth place among Russian cities. Over the past year, more than 14,000 children were born in the city, and the number of students from other regions exceeded 93,000. Tens of thousands of foreigners, primarily from CIS countries, also choose Kazan as their place of residence. According to forecasts from city authorities, by 2050 the population could reach 1.6 million people. The population growth is linked to the development of urban infrastructure and the creation of industrial and information technology clusters. Over the past 15 years, Kazan has transformed into a multifunctional transport hub, competing with other major Russian cities for attracting qualified personnel.

      However, the intensive development of the city has led to an increase in the cost of living. In 2025, regional inflation was 6.64%, exceeding the average Russian indicators. The minimum monthly budget for ensuring basic comfort is estimated at 60,000 rubles, approaching Moscow standards. Housing prices remain high both in the purchase market and in the rental segment. The main competitors of Kazan in attracting population are Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg, and St. Petersburg. The key advantage of the capital of Tatarstan lies in the availability of modern infrastructure and the stability of urban environment development, which ensures long-term attractiveness for residents.
