Population development
Until the beginning of the 20th century, Franconville was a small town with fewer than 2000 inhabitants. Already in the first half of the 20th century, steady growth began, which by the beginning of the 1950s had the population almost quadrupled. From the 1950s to the beginning of the 1980s, the city grew rapidly to become a medium- sized town with over 30,000 residents in order to maintain this level since then.
