The Spanish statistical office has also published the 2011 TFR regional figures for Spain, based on the results of the 2011 Spanish census. Spain's fertility was already quite low, but it has reached new lows since the economic crisis started in 2008. Spain's TFR declined from 1.44 in 2008 to 1.34. in 2011, and even 1.32 in 2012, but the 2012 TFR is available only at the national level.
In 2011, 2 Spanish provinces saw their TFR decline below 1, which is possibly the lowest TFR for any administrative area anywhere in the world:
- province of Lugo: 0.98
- province of Ourense: 0.97
These two provinces are in Galicia, a region that is sooner or later going to become extinct if it keeps those dramatically low TFRs.
6 provinces had a super-low TFR between 1.0 and 1.1 in 2011:
- province of La Coruña (in Galicia): 1.09
- province of Las Palmas (in the Canary Islands): 1.07
- province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (in the Canary Islands): 1.07
- province of Asturias: 1.05
- province of León: 1.05
- province of Zamora: 1.01
