Development of the foreign resident population

In the case of the permanent resident population in the Maloja district (i.e. not counting those who are only registered as living in second homes), the following has been observed in terms of international migration in recent years: While in 2000 the number of those who moved internationally was about the same as the number of those internationally those who moved away, the number of international immigrants almost doubled in 2005 (from 366 to 736), while international immigrants only increased by 23% in the same period (from 348 to 451). In 2006, international immigration fell by 7% (from 736 to 686), while international immigration rose by 10% (from 415 to 497). Compared to the average of the districts of Switzerland, the total migration balance of the Maloja district (i.e. including intercantonal and intra-cantonal inflows and outflows of the permanent resident population) is 3 to 12 points higher or lower in each of the years between 2000 and 2006. In terms of the total migration movements of the permanent resident population, the Maloja district is largely untypical.
