As of 2010, the city of Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán had a population of 10,043.[1] Other than the city of Pueblo Nuevo Solistahuacán, the municipality had 104 localities, the largest of which (with 2010 populations in parentheses) were: Rincón Chamula (5,592), classified as urban, and San José Chapayal (2,059), Arroyo Grande (1,172), and Aurora Ermita (1,136), classified as rural.[1]
