Edge description. One of the most sparsely populated regions of Russia. It was formed on October 20, 1938, when the Far Eastern Territory was divided into Primorsky and Khabarovsk. The edge of the Earth, washed by the seas of the Pacific Ocean, where modern civilization is represented mainly in three large cities: Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Amursk.

Most of the Khabarovsk Territory is a fantastically beautiful pristine nature, dominated by mountainous terrain and diverse forests. The basis of the economy is industry (21.4%), transport and communications (17.4%), trade (12.6%), construction (11.2%). The industry of the region is mechanical engineering, metalworking, mining, food, fish, forestry and woodworking industries and oil refining.

Tourism of all kinds is well developed, from extreme and water to cultural, educational and ethnographic, which is not surprising. After all, the Khabarovsk Territory is one of the most unique in Russia in terms of the diversity of flora and fauna, and takes 9th place out of 40 in the rating of attractiveness for tourists. If you want to conquer mountain peaks, go down the turbulent streams of numerous rivers, visit deep and unexplored caves, or maybe you just want to relax with a fishing rod on the shore and catch a fish, which, however, can reach 6 meters, then the Khabarovsk Territory is simply created For you.

Geographic location. The Khabarovsk Territory in the south-west along the Kazakevicheva channel borders on China, which actively interfered with the development of the region in the 17-18 centuries. Russian neighbors are the Primorsky Territory, the Jewish Autonomous Region, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Magadan Region, the Amur Region. It is washed by the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the Sea of ​​Japan, and is separated from Sakhalin Island by two straits. The region also includes several islands, and one of the largest - the Shantar Islands - are included in the 7 wonders of the Khabarovsk Territory.

The main relief is mountains, the maximum height of which is 2933 meters. The Khabarovsk Territory is located in the forest zone. Coniferous forests predominate among the forests, but mixed forests are often found to the south of the region. Most of the rivers are the rivers of the Amur basin, which envelops the region like a web.

Population. The main problem of the Khabarovsk Territory is the concentration of the entire economy in several largest cities, while the periphery remains in a very deplorable state. This fact, as well as the collapse of the USSR, which significantly worsened the economy of the Khabarovsk Territory, and the natural population decline due to a decrease in the birth rate, have led to the fact that since the 90s there has been a constant decrease in the number of inhabitants. Since 1990, the population has decreased by 277,580 to 1,342,083, 91.8% of whom are Russians. The bulk of the population lives in large cities.

Crime. Over the past five years, crime has halved, and the detection rate has increased to 57%. The Far East has always been one of the criminal centers of Russia. The reason for this is the proximity of borders, and the constant redistribution of territories and the economy. Therefore, the situation with organized crime is still difficult in the Khabarovsk Territory, car theft, drug trafficking, illegal trade in natural resources, and juvenile crime are flourishing. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is successfully fighting against the last misfortune, creating, with the support of the government of the region, people's squads and public formations aimed at the prevention and prevention of crimes.

Evaluation of the unemployment rate. At the moment, a record low unemployment rate of 1.55% has been recorded in the Khabarovsk Territory, and it continues to decline. The main vacancies of the labor exchange are workers in the industrial, construction, trade and banking sectors. At the same time, the average salary is 35,000 rubles, which is significantly higher than that of the region's neighbors. However, it is worth remembering that such a figure is typical for large settlements with a wide range of employment. The farther away from them, the more dull and sad the situation becomes, there are places where the salary of people is not higher than 6,000 rubles a month.

Real estate value. In Khabarovsk, for example, real estate is quite expensive - a normal one-room apartment will cost at least 2.4 million rubles, a 2-room apartment - 3.2 million rubles. Even renting a one-room apartment will turn out to be no less than 20,000 rubles a month. Therefore, if you want to buy affordable housing, it is better to look for it in other, less populated cities. In the same Komsomolsk-on-Amur one-room apartment is quite possible to pick up for 1.5 million rubles.

Climate. 430 km from the northernmost point of the Khabarovsk Territory to the Arctic Circle, and therefore winters here are cold, fierce, long and with little snow. In winter, the average temperature ranges from -22 degrees in the south of the Khabarovsk Territory to -35 in the north. The cold period persists for six months, but the summer is hot with a lot of precipitation. However, if you decide to develop tourism, then it is best to choose the end of August and the beginning of autumn for this - this is when the climate becomes most stable, and the weather is clear and sunny.

Cities of the Khabarovsk Territory

Feeling the power of the Far East, the Asians hid, and since then they have only stubbornly spoiled our ecology: either the Chinese will release mercury and oil emissions into the Amur, or the kind Japanese will send a cloud from Fukushima as a gift.

Today Khabarovsk is a modern developed city that has preserved the long-term culture of Russia. Here, modern new buildings and old stone houses, churches, cathedrals, theaters and museums harmoniously coexist with the latest shopping and entertainment centers, chain stores, high-tech factories. It is rightly considered to be a science city, because on its territory there are more than 22 universities, many specialized schools and colleges, as well as several large scientific organizations. A developed economy, an almost complete absence of unemployment, ample opportunities for personal growth, interesting work, unbanal recreation, in short, no worse than Moscow, St. Petersburg and other millionaires.

With transport, too, everything is in order: a complete set of everything except the metro. And there are three airports, however, one military.

Of the undoubted advantages of the city, one can note inexpensive real estate, low unemployment, a good economy, and developed infrastructure. And of course, the unique nature - the city is located among the hills, giving the impression that you are in a mountain town. And of the minuses - well, perhaps the unfavorable environmental situation from emissions from industrial facilities, and regular floods. But this is the trouble of the entire Far East.

The population of the Khabarovsk Territory is distributed extremely unevenly. Most residents live in large cities such as Khabarovsk or Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Urban residents in the region - 82 percent. The northern regions of the region are practically uninhabited, the population density there is on average only 0.03 people per square kilometer.

Region Information

Khabarovsk Krai is located in the Far East of Russia. Until 1938, it was one Far Eastern region. Then it was divided into Primorye and Khabarovsk Territory. The transport artery of the region flows through the central regions: the Amur River.

Part of the southern regions of the Khabarovsk Territory borders on China.

The first people began to appear on local lands in the Mesolithic era. Russian pioneers began to explore the region in the 17th century.

The most populated cities of the Khabarovsk Territory are located along the Amur River (these are Khabarovsk proper, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Amursk, Voznesensk and others) or on the shores of the Sea of ​​Japan (Vanino, Sovetskaya Gavan).

According to the Office of the Federal State Statistics Service, 1,333,294 people live in the Khabarovsk Territory in 2017. Almost half of them are residents of the urban district of Khabarovsk (616,000). Almost 300 thousand people live in the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Another 60,000 people live in Amursk and its environs (including 8,000 rural residents).

The population of towns and cities of the Khabarovsk Territory in the south of the region is about 50,000 more people (Vyazemsky, Bikin, Lermontovka). The northern regions of the region are practically uninhabited. So, on the vast territory of the Okhotsk municipal district (more than 150,000 square kilometers), only 6 thousand people live. The population density is therefore only 0.04 persons/sq. km. The situation is even sadder in the Tuguro-Chumikansky and Ayano-Maysky municipalities. Each of them is home to less than two thousand people. The population density here is only 0.02-0.03 people / sq. km. In the Ayano-Maysky district, for example, there are only two more or less large settlements (Ayan and Nelkan), the number of inhabitants in which is 844 and 729 people, respectively.

Composition by gender and age

The population of the Khabarovsk Territory is represented mainly by young people aged 25 to 29 years. There are more than 120 thousand of them. There are not so many old people in the region - only 10,000 of those over 80. There are also not so many pensioners (over 65), only about 10 percent of the population.

By gender, the population of the Khabarovsk Territory is distributed almost evenly: women 52.3%, and men 47.7%. Previously, these figures were almost the same. Thus, in 1979, 50.4 per cent of women and 49.6 per cent of men lived in the region.

Ethnographic composition in the region

As of 2010, the majority of Russians in the Khabarovsk Territory are 88 percent. This is even more than in Soviet times. For example, in the middle of the 20th century, 82 percent of the Russian population was in the region. There are about 26,000 Ukrainians in the Khabarovsk Territory, which is almost 2 percent of the population. The indigenous population - Nanais - is extremely small, only 11,000 citizens (0.82%).

Arriving in the Far East, including the Khabarovsk Territory, residents of nearby Asian states: China, Korea. According to statistics for 2010, there are 8,000 Koreans in the region, and 3,800 Chinese. There are a lot of Chinese tourists in large cities, since visas are canceled for them. Therefore, sometimes it seems that there are a lot of Chinese in the Far East.

The population of the Khabarovsk Territory speaks mainly in Russian. Small peoples (Nanais, Evenks) forget their native language, and this is a serious problem at the present time. The fact is that the Nanai language is relatively young, it was written only in the 1930s, and therefore there are not many written sources in it. It is necessary to preserve the cultures of small peoples, but modern programs aimed at this do not work well.

Demographics of the region

The population density of the Khabarovsk Territory is 1.69 people per sq. km. km, but these figures vary greatly from district to district.

The birth rate prevails over the death rate, but not by much. Thus, 14 children were born per 1,000 inhabitants in 2017, as well as in 2016. The death rate as of 2017 is 13.3 people per 1000 citizens of the region.

Residents of the Khabarovsk Territory die mainly from diseases of the circulatory system (more than 8600 people a year), coronary heart disease (4000), cerebrovascular diseases (2700 inhabitants), malignant tumors (2500) even injuries (almost 2000).

Population dynamics

Due to rather difficult natural conditions, there is a constant outflow of citizens of the Khabarovsk Territory to other regions of Russia and abroad. So, since 1992, there has been a constant decrease in the population. In 25 years, the number of inhabitants has decreased by 300,000 people. However, it is also worth noting that now this decrease is not so strong.

Currently, there is a high rate of construction in the region. Large firms invest in various objects. Over the past ten years, even the appearance of many cities, especially Khabarovsk, has changed a lot. If earlier there were old five-story buildings and abandoned enterprises everywhere, now business centers are being actively built, companies are investing in many bold projects. The appearance of cities is also changing: new parks and squares are being built, infrastructure is improving.

It is worth noting the improvement of social protection of the population of the Khabarovsk Territory. Thus, now fewer residents want to leave the region, but negative migration is still observed. In 2016, 58,633 people left, while only 57,047 arrived. Migration rates have slightly decreased in recent years, because now the migration decline is only 1,500 people, while back in 2015 it was 4,900 people.
