Almería Demographics

There's an interesting article in Voz de Almería about the demographics of the province. In the last thirty years (from 1981 to 2011) the density of people per km2 has risen from 47 to 80 - an increase of 70%. Many of these are foreigners, a group which has risen in share from 1% to around 25% of the provincial population (even higher, probably, if all the Brits registered on thepadrón). Two out of three Almerians live in the main cities - Adra, Almería, El Ejido, Roquetas, Níjar and Vícar. Women in towns under 20,000 are apparently in the minority (men/women - 105 - 100) but are in the majority in the larger cities. So there!
