Editing Senglea (section)

==Population==
With an area of just over half a square mile, Senglea is Malta's smallest locality. It is also its most densely populated.  Around the start of the 20th century, Senglea had more than 8200 people, making it the most densely populated town in Europe. At the time, Senglea, as well as [[Cospicua]], were the centre of Malta's [[elite]] and intelligentsia. The Second World War rapidly altered its social structure as many left to take refuge in outlying towns and countryside, never to return. In recent years, rehabilitation of the Cottonera Waterfront as a yacht marina has spurred a lot of interest from foreign expatriates and businessmen.{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}} A March 2011 estimate put its population at 2,964.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mjha.gov.mt/MediaCenter/PDFs/1_Population%20Statistics.pdf |title=Population statistics |work=Malta Government Gazette |publisher=mjha.gov.mt |date=9 August 2011}}</ref> Its population stood at 2,821 as of March 2013,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.lc.gov.mt/mediacenter/PDFs/1_Population%2031-3-13.pdf | title=Estimated Population by Locality | date=31 March 2013 | work=Malta Government Gazette | issue=19,094 | access-date=23 January 2015 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714184236/http://www.lc.gov.mt/mediacenter/PDFs/1_Population%2031-3-13.pdf | archive-date=14 July 2014}}</ref> and this decreased to 2,784 in March 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Estimated Population by Locality 31st March, 2014|url=https://secure2.gov.mt/localgovernment/file.aspx?f=7810|publisher=[[Government of Malta]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621211549/https://secure2.gov.mt/localgovernment/file.aspx?f=7810|archive-date=21 June 2015|date=16 May 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
