The figures and statistics used in this research summarise the solid position of the industry in the urban area of Burgos in the context of the Spanish urban network.

In addition, it is the third Spanish province in terms of contribution to industry in terms of Gross Added Value (30.96%).

This is twice the national average in terms of the percentage of active industrial population, industrial land per inhabitant or industrial land in relation to the urbanised area as a whole. The indicators of income and qualification levels are between 20% and 30% higher than the average for the rest of the Spanish urban areas.
