Golmayo is now the province's tenth largest municipality by population. In 1996 it was the 19th. Due to its closeness to the provincial capital of Soria, of which it is becomimg a suburb, Golmayo had the fastest growth rate of the province in the last decade, since it gained 932 inhabitants (157%) from 1996 to 2006. This is in contrast to the case of the province of Soria, with its negative population trend during the last decades.
