Overview
- The INE’s 2023 Atlas reports net income per person rose nearly 7% to €15,036, offering granular results by municipality and neighborhood.
- A stark spatial split emerges, with 91% of Basque municipalities in the high‑income band while most in Murcia, Andalucía and Extremadura fall into the lowest bracket; Murcia averaged €12,446 after a 7.3% annual rise.
- Local extremes persist, led by Pozuelo de Alarcón at €30,524 per person, while several towns in Andalucía and Castilla‑La Mancha post figures below €9,000.
- Within‑city gaps are pronounced, including a €45,625 difference between Valladolid neighborhoods and inequality hotspots above Spain’s 31.5 Gini in central Sanxenxo (35.8) and Vilagarcía (32.6).
- Regional statistics add nuance: Bizkaia’s average reached €25,867 in 2023 with 29% from pensions and public aid after a 167.9% rise in transfers since 2003, and Gipuzkoa posted €27,545 per adult, though methods differ from the INE Atlas.
