The population of Madrid Characteristics of the population The region of Madrid has a population of a little over six million inhabitants. This means, despite its small size geographically, it is one of the most populated Autonomous Communities. Only Andalusia and Catalonia have more inhabitants than Madrid. During the 20 th and 21 st century our population has grown continually. This is due to the fact that both the natural and real growth rates have increased. But since the end of the 20 th century this growth has mostly been due to immigration. The region of Madrid has a high population thanks to positive real growth rate. Population density The population density of the region is 778 inhabitants per square kilometre. Excluding Melilla and Ceuta, this is the highest population density in Spain. This density is partly due to the large population of Madrid city, which has more than 3 500 000 inhabitants, in other words, more than half of the total population of the region. Other large municipalities are Móstoles (206 000), Leganés (184 000), Fuenlabrada (195 000), Alcalá de Henares (203 000), Getafe (164 000) and Alcorcón (168 000). The region has high population density. Part of which is due to the large population of the city of Madrid. Emigration and immigration There is a constant flow of people moving in and out of the region of Madrid. But, for many years now, there have been more immigrants than emigrants. For example in 2007 there were more than 400 000 immigrants compared to 130 000 emigrants. More than half of these immigrants are Spaniards who come from other communities to live here. The rest are foreigners who mostly come from Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe. The region has a greater number of immigrants than emigrants.
