Demographics
The population of the city of Lyon was 523,164 during the January 2016 census, 13% of whom were born outside Metropolitan France. According to the INSEE census in 2015, the majority of immigrants moving to Lyon come from Algeria, North Africa (14,290). There is also a large portion of the immigrant population that comes from Portugal (3,628) and Italy (3,017). When viewing the population as a whole, world averages can be viewed in the male and female ratio as well as the distribution between age groups. Compared to other cities within France, Lyon is the third largest in terms of population, following Paris and Marseille.

Like the country, the main religion of Lyon is Catholicism. The city offers multiple places of worship ranging from Buddhism, Muslim, Jewish, and Protestant. Since the Algerian wars of the 1950s a large number in the Arab community have chosen to settle within Lyon, bringing more diversity to the population and culture. The influx of immigrants to Lyon has not come without its social problems. There have been extreme cases of riots throughout the city as well as underlying socioeconomic problems continuing until today. Lyon follows similar city-suburban patterns as the countries capital, Paris, with a disproportionate number of low-income household residing in the suburban areas. The outer ring of these suburban areas tends to be wealthier than those who live in the inner area. A case study done in 2015 of the cities urban pricing on social and spatial inequalities reinforces this city-suburban pattern by showing social inequality indicators within the city and just how segregated to two areas are in terms of wealth.
