During the past century the population had been stable around 1,000 inhabitants, but in an attempt of becoming the third city of Aragón, 15,000 new homes were planned in order to accomodate 45,000 new residents. However, it did not go according to the plan. Although now the population has increased to 5,000 people, there are also almost 1,000 empty homes. In this development, 2,500 homes were planned, but only a block with 39 apartments was finished, and most of them are still empty.
