2021 Population in Pinoso

As they do each year Pinoso Town Hall has published it's population statistics. The statistics do not always match personal perceptions but you have to remember that the figures are for the municipality. So the people who live in Chinorlet or Cañada del Trigo who come into Pinoso for their shopping or to get a beer do not count in these stats.

By the end of 2021 there were 8,478 people on the padrón in Pinoso, that's 120 more than at the end of 2020. The number is made up of 4,305 men and 4,173 women (no mention of those who prefer not to have a gender assigned) which is more or less the same, percentage wise, as last year. This means there has been a year on year increase in population in Pinoso since 2017. In 2021 that increase was of 120 people.

There are now 56 different nationalities living in Pinoso with new people from the Czech Republic, Zambia and Japan joining the list for the first time. Most of we foreigners are from Europe, from 25 different countries. There are also people from 17 American countries and 7 African which leaves 7 more from various Asian countries. The UK is still way out in front with regard to number of immigrants, 835 people or nearly 10% of the population, the next most numerous group being Moroccans with 199 people. There are 71 Dutch, 69 Belgians, 66 Rumanians, 51 Ukrainians and 41 Ecuadorians. Interesting that one person on the list is considered to be Stateless.

Just over 20% of the population of Pinoso, that's 1,704 people, is foreign born. This is an increase of just under one and a half percent which by my maths means that "new" foreigners in the municipality account for 147 people, or nearly all the population increase. Obviously the logic behind that is faulty in that people die, people are born, people move etc. but, nonetheless, it's probably nearly true.
