The dynamics of nuptiality, fertility and household’s formation of Spanish population have changed over the last 30 years, following a typical pattern according to the Second Demographic Transition (SDT). The aim of the article is to explore the conjoint evolution of these dynamics, at the regional level, through the elaboration of an index that allows, in a 0-10 scale, to figure out the state of implementation of the SDT among 1991 and 2016, in a 5-year period. Employing births and marriages data from the vital statistics, as well as statistics from the 1991, 2001 and 2011 population censuses, it is found out that most of the Spanish regions are already close to complete the SDT.
