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.

137,273 people
2026
Ranked 16 of 42, in 2026.

35 permits
