evolution of the Valencian Community can be divided into two clearly differentiated periods, which belong to two different moments of the demographic transition: the old demographic cycle or regime (until the 18th century), characterized by high mortality and high birth rates, and the modern demographic regime or cycle (from the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th), in which the drop in mortality initially caused a demographic transition, with strong increases in the population, which passed in its final moments of demographic stability thanks to the drop in birth rates. In the case of the Valencian Community, and in Spain as a whole, both cycles temporarily coincided with the non-presence of reliable population censuses, which would not allow a precise study of demographic states and processes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Urbanization">Urbanization</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Valencian_Community&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Urbanization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_municipalities_in_the_Valencian_Community" class="mw-redirect" title="List of municipalities in the Valencian Community">List of municipalities in the Valencian Community</a></div> <p>Valencian population traditionally concentrated in localities with <a href="/wiki/Fertile_soil" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertile soil">fertile</a> cultivation and growing lowlands by the most important rivers (<a href="/wiki/J%C3%BAcar" title="Júcar">Júcar</a> or <i>Xúquer</i>, <a href="/wiki/Turia_(river)" title="Turia (river)">Turia</a> or <i>Túria</i>, <a href="/wiki/Segura_(river)" title="Segura (river)">Segura</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Vinalop%C3%B3" title="Vinalopó">Vinalopó</a>), also in harbour cities important to the agricultural trade.

Natural Park">Albufera Natural Park</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Valencia is long and narrow, running mainly north–south; historically, its rather steep and irregular terrain has made communications and the exploitation of the soil difficult, although the soil of the coastal plain is particularly <a href="/wiki/Fertile_soil" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertile soil">fertile</a>. This coastal axis has facilitated connections with Europe, either by sea through the Mediterranean, or by land through <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a>. </p><p>The Valencian territory has few natural resources; the only important mineral deposit is the <a href="/wiki/Marble" title="Marble">marble</a> quarried in Alicante province. </p><p>Hydrological resources (see <a href="#Geography">Geography</a> above) are also lacking: the demand for water exceeds the supply, with this imbalance especially serious in Alicante province. In particularly severe drought years, the problem is managed through occasional nocturnal restrictions during summer and exploitation of aquifers. Valencia's water needs result in harsh contention with neighbouring autonomous communities such as <a href="/wiki/Castilla%E2%80%93La_Mancha" title="Castilla–La Mancha">Castilla–La Mancha</a> and Catalonia. </p><p>Agriculture—more specifically, <a href="/wiki/Citrus" title="Citrus">citrus</a> cultivation for the export market—was responsible for Valencia's first economic boom in the late 19th century, after centuries of slow development and even decay. Although in absolute terms the agricultural sector has continued to grow, the boom in the <a href="/wiki/Secondary_sector" class="mw-redirect" title="Secondary sector">secondary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tertiary_sector" class="mw-redirect" title="Tertiary sector">tertiary sectors</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_miracle" title="Spanish miracle">Spanish miracle</a> of the 1960s, has meant that its relative importance has decreased over time. The provinces of <a href="/wiki/Province_of_Castell%C3%B3n" title="Province of Castellón">Castellón</a> and Valencia still have thousands of hectares of citrus-producing groves and citrus continues to be a major source of income on the countryside. <a href="/wiki/Province_of_Alicante" title="Province of Alicante">Province of Alicante</a> also grows citrus, but its agriculture is more diversified with a higher presence of <a href="/wiki/Vegetables" class="mw-redirect" title="Vegetables">vegetables</a>, especially in the <a href="/wiki/Vega_Baja_del_Segura" title="Vega Baja del Segura">Vega Baja del Segura</a> area. </p><p>Though the low insulation rate and overall stable weather during the summer may pose a threat to water supplies for agriculture and human consumption, conversely this climate allows tourism to be the province's main industry. Very dense residential housing along the coast, occupied by locals, people from inland Spain and from other EU countries (mostly from the British Isles, Benelux, Germany and Scandinavia), boosts the summertime population (and hydrological demands). </p><p>In 2004, Valencia's GDP was 93.9% of the European Union average,<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> although this figure may be too low because of the important presence of foreign residents either from other regions of Europe or as economic immigrants, who are not properly represented in the official statistics. As in all of Spain, there was significant growth in the years immediately following 2004, at least until the <a href="/wiki/2008%E2%80%9313_Spanish_financial_crisis" class="mw-redirect" title="2008–13 Spanish financial crisis">2008–13 Spanish financial crisis</a>. </p><p>In 2008, the Valencia Community generated 9.7% of the Spanish GDP.

The typical Valencian business is a small-to-medium-sized company, mainly family-owned and operated, although there are some multinationals. </p><p>In addition to tourism, the Valencian Community has significant exports, and it ranks second in this respect among the Spanish autonomous communities, constituting 12% of the national total.
