The 10 villages in the province of Burgos with fewer than 10 inhabitants

The analysis of official records reveals an accelerated depopulation in the province of Burgos, where several municipalities have lost nearly all of their permanent residents. The critical situation is evident in both municipalities with their own town halls and in smaller hamlets, highlighting an extreme demographic void that underscores the vulnerability of these territories to progressive abandonment. This population decline poses significant logistical and financial challenges, as maintaining basic services such as water and electricity becomes unviable with such a reduced tax base. Healthcare services and other public provisions depend on larger urban centers, revealing the structural limitations of current administrative management in addressing the dispersed and aging demographic reality of rural areas. The relevance of this report for open data lies in the transparency of INE (National Statistics Institute) data, which allow for precise mapping of these depopulation dynamics. Access to detailed official information is essential for designing effective public policies, assessing the viability of public services, and preserving cultural heritage, using numerical evidence as a foundation for informed territorial decision-making.
