The stagnant population
With fewer children, longer lifespans, and higher rents, the population pyramid of Monterrey already resembles a bell. This means that most of the population is between 20 and 34 years old. In 2020, around 1.14 million people called Monterrey their home, meaning that in 20 years the population grew only by 2.7 percent and remained unchanged between 2015 and 2020.With this, problems of a stationary population have started to arise: the number of newborns has been decreasing and reached its lowest level during 2020 with around 13,500 births, while the number of deaths peaked in 2021.
