Spanish housing prices and incomes vary sharply by town and neighborhood
Spain’s National Statistics Institute has published 2026 Urban Indicators showing sharp regional gaps in housing prices, rents and income.
The figures use the latest available data, mainly from 2024 and 2025, and cover municipalities and urban neighborhoods.
In 2025, an average home in Calvià, Mallorca, cost about 17 times as much as one in Puertollano: €981,485 compared with €57,698.
Income also varied widely: residents of Madrid’s El Viso had an average income of €49,654 per person, 6.5 times the figure in Los Pajaritos and Amate, Seville.
In cities with more than 250,000 residents, Madrid and Barcelona had 94 of the 100 neighborhoods with the highest average monthly rent in 2024.
These gaps show how sharply housing costs and incomes differ across Spain; the figures describe recent conditions, and no further action is specified.
