Carcaixent is home to around 20,000 residents, with a mix of locals and expatriates from other European countries. The city has experienced steady population growth in recent years, particularly due to its appeal as a quiet, yet well-connected residential area near Valencia. The population is predominantly Spanish, but there is a growing diversity due to international visitors and a small expatriate community.
Demographically, the city is a balanced mix of younger families, retirees, and working professionals, with agriculture still providing employment for many, although the service and tourism sectors have been expanding in recent years.
