Demographic shifts
The city's population grew from 3,000 inhabitants in 1860 which counted up to the 6,000 that were stabilized from the 1930s until the 1960s, except for a decrease produced by the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent exile. The population growth during this period is based on immigration from Catalonia. If in the early sixties Ruby barely exceeded 9,000 inhabitants, the population tripled in this decade, and the late twentieth century already surpassed 50,000. The arrival of people from other Catalan cities and waves of immigration from North Africa and South and Central America make Ruby a city that already exceeds 70,000 inhabitants, composed of 50.5% in male population and 49.4% female population.
