According to data released yesterday, Thursday December 11th, by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) in its Migration and Change of Residence Statistics, the Valencian Community was the third most popular autonomous community in Spain for foreign immigrants in 2024, after Catalonia and Madrid.
A total of 104,776 people from other countries moved to the Valencian Community last year. This shows that the area is a popular place to live and helped the overall migration balance, which was one of the greatest in the State, with 115,742 people moving there.
The Valencian Community is a place that draws people from both inside and outside the region.
The study shows that the Valencian Community is special since it not only gets many individuals from other nations, but it also gets many people from other autonomous communities. The net migration, which is the difference between the number of people moving in from other areas and the number of people moving out, was 10,966 individuals. This is one of the communities with the fastest population growth.
Spain had 626,268 immigrants in 2024, which is 16,028 lower than in 2023. Even though this was a little decline, all of the independent communities had positive migration balances.
More than 1.7 million trips within the country
The INE also noted that 1,754,162 people moved from one municipality to another in Spain in 2024, which is 2% more than the year before. 546,536 of these migrations were between autonomous communities. The Valencian Community is still one of the most popular places to move to.
Immigration keeps Spain’s trend towards growth going.
The changes in migratory patterns show how important both internal and external mobility are to Spain’s population growth. According to the INE (National Institute of Statistics), the positive balance is present in all autonomous communities as of 2024. However, there are big differences between them. For example, La Rioja, Cantabria, and Extremadura have very low numbers, while Catalonia, Madrid, and the Valencian Community are the ones that are growing the most.
Because of the way people move around in 2024, the Valencian Community is even more likely to attract people than other parts of the country.
