Editing Mâcon (section)

==Demography==
Mâcon is one of the department's major employment areas which is by far the most dynamic (13.5% increase between 1999 and 2006) compared to cities such as [[Chalon-sur-Saône]] or [[Montceau-les-Mines]] which are losing jobs. This dynamism is particularly helped by the many transport links available and its proximity to [[Lyon]].

The population data in the table and graph below refer to the commune of Mâcon proper, in its geography at the given years. The commune of Mâcon absorbed the former commune of Saint-Clément in 1856, Flacé-lès-Mâcon in 1964, Saint-Jean-le-Priche and Sennecé-lès-Mâcon in 1971 and Loché in 1972.<ref name=ehess/>
