Demography
As in the rest of Catalunya, the second half
of the nineteenth century saw a exodus from the countryside to
the towns. This is the determining factor in the present-day demographic
pattern of small rural villages with shrinking populations and
towns with an ever increasing number of inhabitants.
The Costa Daurada covers an area of 6,283 square kilometres and
has a population of 612 086 in ten comarques, which are in turn
divided into 183 municipalities. The population density is 97,4
inhabitants per square kilometre.
