Empty Spain: Soria and Guadalajara monopolize villages with lower population density

• Loss of freelancers. Spain emptied of shops
• Trip to Fermoselle. The empty Spain of children: "They are more concerned that the eagle is extinguished than we"

Quiñonería , in the province of Soria, is the municipality with the lowest population density in Spain: 0.208 inhabitants per square kilometer, as a result of just eight people (four women and four men) residing in the 38.47 square kilometers that which ascends its surface.

It is followed closely by Valdeprado , also in the province of Soria, with a ratio of 0.282 inhabitants per square kilometer. And somewhat further away is Fuembedilla , a town that in this case is located in Guadalajara and has a population of only eight residents for a total of 26.05 square kilometers.

Soria and Guadalajara, therefore, divide the three villages with the lowest population density in the country, something that is repeated if the analysis extends to the top 10 positions and that shows that the rural areas of these territories are a clear example of the so-called empty Spain . Specifically, the Castilian-Leon province accumulates a total of five populations: the aforementioned more Herrera de Soria, Villanueva de Gormaz and La Riba de Escalote. The one located in Castilla-La Mancha, meanwhile, adds three: Valtajado del Río and El Cardoso de la Sierra as well as Fuembellida. The list of the top ten places is completed by Haza, in Burgos, and Viacamp and Litera, in Huesca, two provinces that also suffer the depopulation process that plagues much of the country.

This is clear from the extensive work that the Council of Economists has done in Socio-economic Chips , a free web tool "made available to the whole society" and that "consists of a compendium of about 9,000 files from all the municipalities of our country" They explain from the organism.

The sources used for the preparation of the tool are equally extensive, and include the National Institute of Statistics (INE), the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Function, the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Social Security or the Public State Employment Service, among other.

Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Navarra or Vizcaya

On the opposite side of Soria and Guadalajara, that is, among the municipalities with the highest population density, there are towns in Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Navarra or Biscay. The first position is occupied by Emperor , in the Valencian province, although this data is conditioned by the fact that it is also the smallest town in Spain with just 0.03 square kilometers of surface.

On the other hand, Hospitalet de Llobregat , the city of Barcelona , Portugalete or Barañáin itself are towns with a more relevant extension and that are among the 10 municipalities with a higher density given their high number of inhabitants.

More affiliates, more companies, collection ...

The work of the Council of Economists also yields other striking data in different economic fields, such as that Figueruelas , a Zaragoza town where an Opel plant is located, is the population of Spain with the largest number of Social Security affiliates by 1,000 inhabitants: it has 8,593 members with a total population of 1,240 people.

Also, Alesón , in La Rioja, is the population with the highest number of companies per 1,000 inhabitants and Romangordo , in Cáceres, is the municipality with the highest collection per inhabitant with almost 8,000 euros.
