description In this paper we analyze the correlation between the demographic structure of the municipalities of the state of Boyacá (Colombia) and their financial development for 2015. The aim is to determine theoretically and empirically if there is a correspondence between the reduced population observed in the municipal entities of Boyacá and the financial performance of the municipalities, by means of a quantitative study of linear correlation among the two variables cited, from institutional data, supporting the results with the relevant theoretical postulates. We conclude that there is a strong relationship concerning the population size and the fiscal development of the entities of the department, where the first variable generates a negative trend in municipal financial indicators, which implies immense institutional challenges for the entities.

En este escrito se analiza la correlación entre la estructura demográfica de los municipios del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia, y su desenvolvimiento financiero para el año 2015. Se busca determinar teórica y empíricamente si existe relación de correspondencia entre la reducida población observada en las entidades municipales del departamento y el desempeño financiero de las alcaldías, mediante un estudio cuantitativo de correlación lineal entre las dos variables citadas, a partir de datos institucionales y apoyando los resultados con los postulados teóricos de relevancia. Se concluye que hay una fuerte relación entre el tamaño poblacional y el desenvolvimiento fiscal de las entidades del departamento, donde la primera variable genera una tendencia negativa en los indicadores financieros municipales, lo que implica grandes retos institucionales para las entidades.
