Madrid is a very small town located in the state of Iowa. With a population of 4,162 people and just one neighborhood, Madrid is the 99th largest community in Iowa. Madrid has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Madrid is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Madrid is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals.

Madrid is a very car-oriented town. 97.75% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Madrid is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Madrid has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.
Being a small town, Madrid does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
In terms of college education, Madrid is somewhat better educated than the 14.96% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 19.93% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.
