The population of Amsterdam has grown by an average of 11,000 people a year over the past five years, and half the increase is due to new arrivals moving in, the national statistics office CBS said on Tuesday.

The net increase in the number of new people arriving in the capital from abroad has gone up from almost zero in 2012 to 10,000 last year, the CBS said. And in 2016, 30,000 newcomers, most of them in their 20s and 30s, moved to the city.

People from India formed the biggest group of new arrivals, followed by migrants from the US and Britain, the CBS said.The rest of the top 10 is made up of people from western Europe.

Taking new arrivals and people leaving into account, the Indian population grew the most, followed by the Italian, British and German communities.

‘Amsterdam is a magnet, particularly for young people,’ CBS spokesman Jan Latten said.

The CBS also reported on Tuesday that 40% of Amsterdam’s young couples move house within four years of having their first child, often to nearby towns such as Almere or Zaanstad.
