About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Madrid population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Madrid across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

The number of students enrolled at Spanish universities maintained steadily above 1.4 million over the past decade.

Most of the university students in Spain opted for public institutions to complete their studies, with approximately 1.3 million enrolled during the 2022/2023 academic year.

Spain and its university scene As of 2023, Spain had over 89 universities, most of them located in its capital autonomous community Madrid, which was serviced by 18 higher education institutions.
