How many foreigners are there in Nyon?

Last week I came across a little pamphlet published by the Canton of Vaud called “Vaud in figures”. It has some interesting statistics on it.
Here are a few -

In 2007 the population of Vaud was 668,581.

71% of those were Swiss and 28.7 % were foreigners (and out of that 28%, 69% were from the European Union).
The population of the commune of Nyon was 17,501 and 35.7 % of those were foreigners.

There’s a chart on the births and deaths in Vaud since 1920 (there were a lot of deaths around 1910 due to Spanish flu)

The graph called “Construction and Housing” shows that in the late 80′s early 90s there was a lot of building of accommodation of “1-2 pieces” but in 2002 -2004 there was a surge of “4 piece” construction.

The production of wine is even in there under the “usage of agricultural land”. The Chasselas grape is produced considerably more than Pinot Noir or Gamay.

Other info on this small pamphlet includes statistics on public health, public finance, and political party representation in Vaud’s grand council. There’s even the depth of Lac Leman (it’s 310 metres at its deepest).

This info came in a small pamphlet but its also available on line at Service Cantonal de Recherche at D’information Statistiques

Check it out to see the population of your village, or how many children go onto further education after compulsory schooling has ended or even the average air temperature across the region, this includes days with sun, rain and ice!
