This population is settled in 2,248 municipalities through out all the territory; the cattle farming, agriculture, mining industry and forestry wealth have determined the location of these municipalities.

The industrial revolutions and the consequent urban development have caused the progressive town's growth, which in the XXI century has meant that 56% of population is urban.

This configuration was due to the growth of the industry and services field, located, mainly, in urban environments. However, Castilla y León keeps on providing to the Spanish nation resources like agricultural products and electric energy, extracted and distributed from rural and peripheral areas of the region.
