We use a Galaxy model including three components for the ‘seen’ stellar matter (Robin, Crézé, 1985). A scenario of star formation and evolution in the disc constrains the age distribution within each spectral type and luminosity range. The model fits available star counts. We add the ‘seen’ interstellar matter with local density 0.04 M⊙ pc−3 and scale height 140 pc. Thus the total observed local density is 0.085 M⊙ pc−3.
