That’s the official residents isn’t it? I meet so many out here who aren’t on the books but live here all the time.

Yes that's correct. It's the number officially on the books. There is now a campaign to request those who have not signed on the Padrón and are entitled to do so to sign on. I suppose its the red tape and where to start that puts people off. Especially if you don't speak Spanish. They could make it simpler by having staff who would make the application all the way through to Residencia. If it's simple people will do it. If it's complicated then forget it.

The interesting points on the 2019 data to emerge are; whilst the UK remains the highest amount of foreigners, the number has reduced since 20 17/18. And the marked increases in Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Belgians.
