Esta es la comunidad autónoma que perderá más habitantes en 2039, según el INE

Spain faces a critical demographic paradox where national population growth masks severe internal disparities, particularly regarding rural depopulation. While the country as a whole is projected to increase its total inhabitants significantly through 2039, this expansion is unevenly distributed. Major urban centers like Madrid and Catalonia are expected to absorb the majority of this growth, whereas numerous municipalities continue to empty, highlighting a structural imbalance that threatens the sustainability of peripheral regions regardless of the overall positive national trend. Asturias exemplifies the severity of this issue, standing on the verge of becoming Spain’s most depopulated autonomous community. Despite a projected rise in the number of households, the actual population will decline sharply, driven by low birth rates and aging. This shift is characterized by a surge in single-person households and a shrinking average family size, indicating that while housing structures may persist, the human capital required to sustain local economies and public services is rapidly vanishing. This dynamic is highly relevant to open data initiatives because accurate, granular demographic statistics are essential for identifying these hidden inequalities and crafting effective regional policies. Without transparent and accessible data tracking migration patterns, aging populations, and household structures, governments cannot adequately address the root causes of depopulation. Open data serves as the foundational tool for monitoring these demographic shifts, enabling policymakers to move beyond aggregate national figures and implement targeted interventions for at-risk communities.
