Ocaña has a population of around 12,000 residents, giving it the feel of a close-knit community while still offering the amenities of a larger town. The town’s demographics reflect its agricultural roots, with many families having lived in the area for generations. However, in recent years, Ocaña has seen an influx of new residents, partly due to its proximity to Madrid and its increasing popularity as a destination for those seeking a quieter, more rural lifestyle.
The population is predominantly Spanish, with some diversity added by a growing immigrant community, particularly from Latin American countries. This diversity adds a rich cultural dimension to the town, visible in its food, festivals, and day-to-day life.
