City facts
Overview
Lillers is a small town located in Hauts-de-France, France. Around 9,988 people are recorded as living there in the most recent open data. Its coordinates of 50.561°, 2.476° place it in the cool-temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. Town territory extends across roughly 26.9 km² of territory, with terrain very close to sea level (18 m). The latitude suggests long cool seasons and short, mild summers. Open solar datasets indicate about 1,134 kWh/m² of solar irradiance per year, combined with sunshine for roughly 44% of daylight hours. That works out to roughly 371 residents per square kilometre — an average residential density. It is grouped under the 32 province in national statistics. Being so close to sea level, the town likely sits near a coastline or lowland waterway.
