56 municipalities/TIOCs are included
Santa Cruz de la Sierra alone accounts for over 50% of the department’s population
Gender distribution is generally balanced, with slight male predominance in rural areas
Population Overview – Santa Cruz Department (by Municipality and TIOC)
The Department of Santa Cruz is the most populous in Bolivia, with a total population of 3,122,605 people, made up of 1,582,326 men and 1,540,279 women. The population is unevenly distributed, with a strong concentration in urban and economic centers.
Urban Concentration
Santa Cruz de la Sierra is by far the largest municipality, with 1,610,982 inhabitants, accounting for more than half of the department’s total population.
Other major urban centers include Warnes (151,248), La Guardia (147,726), Montero (126,886), and Cotoca (106,603).
These cities form the core of the metropolitan area, which drives migration, employment, and economic growth.
Intermediate Municipalities
Mid-sized municipalities such as Yapacaní, San Ignacio de Velasco, Camiri, San Julián, Concepción, and Ascensión de Guarayos range between 30,000 and 70,000 inhabitants.
These areas serve as regional service centers for agriculture, livestock, and local commerce.
Rural and Low-Population Areas
Many municipalities, particularly in the Vallegrande valleys and Chiquitanía, have populations under 20,000 people.
The smallest municipalities, such as Postrervalle, Trigal, Pucará, Moromoro, and Saipina, have fewer than 3,000 residents, reflecting rural settlement patterns and geographic constraints.
Indigenous Autonomous Territories (TIOC)
Charagua Iyambae, Bolivia’s first Indigenous Autonomous Region, has 38,420 inhabitants with a balanced gender distribution.
Gutiérrez (Kereimba Iyaambae) also reflects the importance of Indigenous governance and community-based population structures in the Chaco region.
Gender Distribution
Overall, the department shows a slight male majority, especially in rural and agricultural municipalities.
Urban areas tend to have a more balanced or slightly higher female population.
Santa Cruz’s population pattern highlights a clear contrast between a densely populated metropolitan core and extensive rural territories with small, dispersed populations. Economic opportunity, internal migration, and infrastructure development continue to shape demographic growth across the department.
