La Carlota has a population of approximately 14,000 people, with a mix of locals and a growing number of international residents, particularly from other European countries. The town’s population is predominantly Spanish, though its colonial roots mean that there is a unique cultural diversity that sets it apart from other Andalusian towns.
In recent years, La Carlota has experienced modest population growth due to its appeal as a quiet, well-connected location that offers a high quality of life. The city’s demographics are largely made up of families, retirees, and young professionals, many of whom commute to nearby Córdoba or Seville for work. This blend of rural charm and proximity to major urban centers makes La Carlota an increasingly attractive destination for those seeking a balance between peaceful living and access to modern amenities.
The town also has a strong sense of community, with many festivals and events that bring residents together throughout the year. Its welcoming atmosphere and affordable cost of living have made it a popular choice for both locals and expatriates looking to settle in Andalusia.
