Amés is home to approximately 15,000 residents, and the population is relatively spread out across its rural areas and small villages. The town has seen steady growth over the past few years, partly due to its appeal as a residential area for those working in nearby Santiago de Compostela. The population is primarily composed of Galician locals, but in recent years, the town has become more diverse, attracting residents from other parts of Spain and beyond. The peaceful rural lifestyle and proximity to major urban centers make it attractive to both families and retirees.
