The figure on the map is not each neighbor's salary: it is the net income of each household divided by all the people who live there, including children and retirees. To compare yourself, add up everything earned in your home during a year: salaries (what reaches your account, multiplied by the number of payments), pensions, unemployment benefits or other allowances, and any rent or interest received by all members of the household. Then, divide the result by the number of people living at home. For example, in a couple with two children where one parent earns 1,800 euros net in 14 payments and the other 1,500 in 12, the household earns 43,200 euros per year, which is 10,800 euros per person. This is the number you should compare with that of your street. Keep in mind that the INE data is from 2024: if your income has risen since then, perform the calculation with that year's figures to compare yourself on equal terms.

BarcelonaIn 2024, Matadepera once again became the Catalan municipality with the highest income. The population of Vallès Occidental was followed by Sant Just Desvern (Baix Llobregat) and Sant Cugat del Vallès (Vallès Occidental) on the podium of towns with the highest household incomes in the country. In fact, on a national scale in Spain, Matadepera ranked in second position, only surpassed by Pozuelo de Alarcón, in Madrid, according to household income distribution data published this Monday by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
Thus, households in Matadepera obtained net incomes of 28,607 euros per person in 2024, while Pozuelo de Alarcón was the only city in the State with more than 30,000 euros in per capita income, with 32,612. Sant Just and Sant Cugat recorded a per capita income of 26,434 euros and 26,306 euros, respectively, just as in the 2023 data published a year ago. In fact, Catalonia is the autonomous community with the most municipalities in the top 15, as the two aforementioned municipalities occupy the sixth and seventh positions.
Furthermore, five towns from the Maresme region also enter, occupying between the tenth and fourteenth positions in the ranking of highest income: Alella, Tiana, Teià, Cabrils and Sant Vicenç de Montalt. In these cases, they are situated with incomes between 25,772 euros per person for the first municipality and 24,637 for the fifth. The data by municipality and census sections can be consulted on the attached map published by the INE.
At the other extreme, the municipalities with the lowest income per person are concentrated mainly in Andalusia, with Iznalloz, in Granada, at the top of the list with only 9,153 euros per person in 2024. El Palmar de Troya, in Seville, and Albuñol, in Granada, were in second and third position, respectively. In fact, of the fifteen municipalities with households with the lowest income, all were Andalusian with four exceptions: Chozas de Canales and Minglanillas, in Castilla-La Mancha, and Zahinos and Talayuela, in Extremadura.
Thus, in the richest municipality in the State, a household earns on average more than triple that of the poorest municipality.
