MIND THIS, a different measure: at locality level INS publishes no resident population, only the population by domicile — how many people have their identity document registered there, wherever they actually live. The figures here are NOT to be compared with those above and do not add up to the national resident total.

39,358 people
2026
Ranked 41 of 42, in 2026.

44 permits
