• Five municipalities from the Community of Madrid are in the national top ten, Barcelona province contributes four, and Aigües (Alicante) is the sole entrant from outside those hubs.
• Pozuelo de Alarcón’s mean gross income reached 88,011 euros (about +3% year over year), with Boadilla del Monte at 70,869 euros and Sant Just Desvern at 67,265 euros.
• Aigües placed eighth with 60,883 euros after a sharp rise that local sources attribute to extraordinary income events and the arrival of high earners in a very small municipality.
