The map of income inequality in Spain (street by street and building by building) shows the gap between the countryside and the city, the north and the south and the rich versus the poorest neighborhoods. In Spain there are more than 600 neighborhoods with an average income per household above 100,000 euros, while in 174 of them it does not exceed 20,000 euros.

Data published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) details the average gross income per household (i.e. before taxes) from the 2022 personal income tax returns of residents of more than 36,000 sections census. That is to say just after the pandemic and the inflationary crisis. It must be taken into account that the statistics only include income from the tax return and do not take into account income paid in the black or underground economy, tax traps via intermediary companies or income not declared to the personal income tax.

The change in income between 2022 and 2019 may also present abnormal values ​​that do not correspond to actual changes in income. For example, in some cases the difference can be explained by the INE methodology, changes of residence of people with high incomes or simply by extraordinary one-off income that does not include capital gains. The figures must therefore be interpreted with caution.

Furthermore, the statistics do not reflect income above 143,364 euros per household or below 15,640 euros to limit the extreme values ​​of the indicators. This is why there are several census tracts that share this exact number as median income.

In the following table you can consult the results aggregated by municipality. Who has the highest average household income? And which are the lowest? Search for your province, autonomous community or municipality and find out its position on the income scale in Spain.
