According to the Czech Ministry of the Interior there were approximately 405,000 citizens including foreigners with registered permanent residence in Brno in January 2011. It's interesting, however, that according to the Czech Statistical Office, Brno had only ca. 371,000 inhabitants at the same time. This difference is given by a different methodology for the census, the lower number comes from the census performed in 2001 while the other one is regularly updated number of people with registered permanent residence in the city.
Brno experienced the largest increase in population during the 19th century at the time of the industrial revolution. A slight decrease in population of the city in 1989 was caused by suburbanisation.
