Almost 4000 new Limburgers in the first half of 2022

Peel en Maas was also the largest grower in absolute numbers, with 622 new residents. In Stein, Meerssen and Vaals the number of inhabitants decreased. The population of Maastricht also declined, although this is also due to the departure of students.
