The INE population series shown for Villafranca del Bierzo municipality runs from 2015 to 2023, moving from 3,122 to 2,634 residents. The published series therefore changes by -15.6% over that span; this describes resident population, not housing demand by itself.
MITMA records 40 housing transactions over the latest four published quarters through 2026Q2. That is +8.1% compared with the preceding four quarters.
Current Catastro coverage for Villafranca del Bierzo municipality includes 3,255 recorded buildings and 2,661 recorded dwellings, with an average recorded build year of 1938. These are cadastral records, not a count of homes currently for sale.
Within buildings that carry a usable construction year, the largest Catastro age band is Before 1950, representing 57.1% of that recorded subset. The distribution helps describe the physical stock, but it does not establish refurbishment condition, energy performance or legal status for an individual property.
The current Consejo General del Notariado snapshot reports a completed-sale rate of €663 per square metre for Villafranca del Bierzo municipality, based on 28 price-informed sales from 40 total recorded transactions. It is a dated aggregate snapshot rather than an asking-price estimate or an individual property valuation.

These measures describe the resident and household context. They should not be converted into a forecast of prices, rents or buyer demand.

Latest available demographic evidence from INE for Villafranca del Bierzo municipality; each measure states its own latest period.
Physical stock comes from Catastro. Energy-certificate and tourism-register counts are official administrative records and should be read as registered coverage, not as estimates of every home.
León province and Castilla y León measures provide context; they are not substitutes for a municipality or neighbourhood value.
Completed-sale snapshot. Consejo General del Notariado / Penotariado aggregate for the stated scope. Price measures use 28 price-informed sales from 40 total recorded transactions. It is a current snapshot fetched 2026-08-03 21:39:29, not a historical point.
Transaction activity. MITMA quarterly housing transmissions, shown as published counts with no scaling or extrapolation.
Registered-price context. Colegio de Registradores quarterly statistics for the labelled comparison scope. Aggregate values are never relabelled as municipality or neighbourhood values.
