This Thursday, the National Institute of Statistics (INE) published the latest edition of “Urban Indicators”, a very comprehensive report on the country’s municipalities. The work once again shows the very different incomes available to the inhabitants of the city of Cordoba depending on their place of residence. The study divides our city into 29 neighborhoods. Before dissecting the figures, it should be remembered that what has been made public is the average annual income per capita for 2022 (latest indicator available. The average citizen had 13,148 euros in the capital that year). This figure is 6.6% lower than the Spanish average (14,082). The difference is 934 euros in hard euros. The greatest distance to Córdoba is between the area of Brillante and Naranjo, in which the average net annual income per capita was 20,111 euros two years ago, and that of Guadalquivir. In the latter, the aforementioned wealth thermometer remained at 8,432. In other words, the difference between one zone and another translates into a difference of 11,678 euros. This enormous distance means that the income of a neighbor in the enclave with the best situation is multiplied by 2.4 compared to that of a resident of the area where it is most difficult to make ends meet. Brillante-El Naranjo returns to first place compared to the second place it occupied in the previous edition, with indicators from 2020. For its part, the neighborhood of Guadalquivir fell to the last position from the front -last. Average income per capita in 2022 in the neighborhoods of Córdoba Brillante-Barrio del Naranjo 20,110.88 (always in euros) Tejares-Molinos Altas-San Cayetano 19,231.37 Huerta de la Marquesa 17,576 Cercadilla-Olivos Borrachos 17,169.88 Vista Alegre-Valllellano- Cruz Conde/Corregidor Park 17,090.49 Arruzafilla 16,038.39 Historic Center 15,616.59 Santa Rosa-Camping 15,145.31 Santa Isabel 14,454.56 Garden City 13,786.89 Peri-urban 13,423.16 Cañero-Fidiana Park 12,441.93 itas-Colonie de la Paz 12,433.25 Figueroa Park-San Rafael de la Albaida 11,867.16 Valdeolleros-Chinales 11,681.60 Levante-Zumbacón 11,622.40 Viñuela-Rescatado -Cerro de la Golondrina 11,238.62 Miralbaida-Electromechanics 11,232.32 Arcángel 10,983.18 Alcolea 10,950.13 Fátima 10,924.86 Villarrubia-Encinarejo 10,716.31 Campo de la Verdad-Fray Albino 10,427.78 Fu ens anta- Santuario 10,148.49 El Higuerón-Majaneque-Alameda del Obispo 9,992.10 Moreras-Huerta de la Reina 9,740.74 South Sector 9,197.28 Azahara-Palmeras 8,491.53 Polígono del Guadalquivir 8,432.51The neighborhood podium with the highest average income – always per capita – is completed by the area of Tejares, Molinos Altas and San Cayetano (19,231 euros and which in the previous report was the first) and Huerta de la Marquesa (17,576). The “top five” is closed by Cercadilla-Olivos Borrachos (17,170) and Vista Alegre, Vallellano and Parque Cruz Conde (17,090). At the other end of the board, the Barrio del Guadalquivir closes it, as indicated. The penultimate place goes to Azahara-Palmeras (8,491 and in the previous edition of “Urban Indicators” it was the last) and the penultimate to the South Sector (9,197). The extreme seriousness of the situation in these enclaves is confirmed by indicating that, in this comprehensive INE report, they appear again in the list of the fifteen poorest neighborhoods in the country. The list of five areas with the lowest average per capita income is completed by Moreras-Huerta de la Reina (9,741) and El Higuerón-Majaneque (9,92.1).
