Níjar has a population of 26,516, making it the 295th largest place we list in Spain. It is in Andalusia.
Níjar holds under a tenth of one per cent of Spain's 47,850,793 people. Madrid, the largest place we list there, is 123 times its size. Twenty years earlier the World Gazetteer recorded 19,449, a rise of 36%.
The 2005 figure comes from the World Gazetteer archive restored on this site. The two sources may draw the settlement's boundary differently, so treat the change as indicative rather than exact. Why figures differ.
Níjar is in Andalusia, which has 705 recorded places.

Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
