Burgos has a population of approximately 175,000 people, making it a mid-sized city by Spanish standards. The demographic makeup is predominantly Spanish, though in recent years, there has been an increase in immigrant populations, particularly from Latin America and Eastern Europe. The city is home to a mix of age groups, though like many other parts of Spain, it has a higher proportion of elderly residents compared to younger generations.
Burgos also attracts students, thanks to the presence of the University of Burgos, adding a youthful and international flair to the city’s demographic profile. The population has remained stable in recent years, with some growth due to tourism and the city’s expanding industries.
