Description

The Continuous Population Statistics provides quarterly quantitative measurements of the population residing in Spain, the population residing in family homes and the number of households. It offers information at the national level, by autonomous communities, provinces and islands disaggregated by various criteria, such as sex, age, nationality or place of birth. Household data are provided disaggregated by household size.

The Continuous Population Statistics publishes population data since 2002 (some series since 1971) and data on the number of households since 2021.

Uses administrative records to collect and analyze demographic data regularly and continuously over time, providing up-to-date and detailed information about the population, allowing dynamic monitoring of demographic changes.

Reference figures

The Continuous Population Statistics unifies population figures into a series that is consistent at all geographic levels and conforms to European regulations.

Its figures are used as a reference in all INE statistical operations and are transmitted internationally as official data on the population of Spain for all purposes. .

Migration Movements

The Continuous Population Statistics also publishes a selection of the most representative foreign migratory flows since 2023. These are departure movements, as they consist of some types of variations of entry and exit in the continuous Register.

Therefore, these counts should not be considered provisional results of total migratory flows, since these data are provided at the end of each year in the Statistics of Migrations and Changes of Residence.
