Arico el Nuevo has a relatively small population of just over 1,000 residents, which contributes to its tranquil, village-like atmosphere. The majority of the population is made up of local Canarians, many of whom have lived in the town for generations, giving the community a close-knit, familial feel. There is also a growing expatriate community, particularly from other European countries, who have been drawn to the town’s peaceful setting and natural beauty.
The population is largely composed of older residents, though in recent years, younger families and professionals have begun to settle in the area due to its proximity to Tenerife’s larger cities and its appealing lifestyle. The town is becoming more diverse, with both locals and expatriates contributing to the community’s unique cultural blend.
Population growth in the town has been steady but controlled, allowing Arico el Nuevo to maintain its traditional charm while gradually adapting to modern developments.
