More than 50% of the population of the Region of Murcia lives in three main cities: Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca.

The district has a young population, with people aged 25-29 accounting for the largest proportion of the population.

Another important feature of the district's demographics is its positive net population growth, which is the result of increased birth rates and immigration from all over the country and foreign countries. In 2006, the region of Murcia welcomed more than 21,000 people from other parts of Spain, most likely due to the region's economic growth. This trend has been intensifying over the past few years.
