Berga has a population of approximately 16,000 residents. The demographic makeup is predominantly Catalan, with a strong sense of regional identity tied to the traditions and language of Catalonia. However, the city has also seen a small influx of international residents in recent years, particularly due to its growing tourism and appeal as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts and cultural travelers.
The population has remained relatively stable, though there has been a gradual increase in diversity as more people from other regions of Spain and Europe are drawn to Berga for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. The city retains a close-knit community feel, where local festivals and customs continue to play a central role in daily life.
