Matadepera is the second municipality in Spain with the highest income per capita, and eight Catalan towns are among the top 15 in the ranking.


BarcelonaMatadepera is the municipality in Spain with the second highest net income per capita (€26,729), behind only Pozuelo de Alarcón in Madrid, with €30,524 per capita, and ahead of Boadilla del Monte, also in Madrid, with €26,668 per capita. These are 2023 data published this Tuesday by the National Statistics Institute. And despite the fact that the Community of Madrid occupies two places on the podium, the fact is that among the 15 municipalities in Spain with the highest net income per capita, there are eight Catalan ones (all in the province of Barcelona), while only five are in Madrid.
Thus, after Matadepera, the next Catalan municipalities to appear in this ranking are Alella, in fourth place, with €25,382; Sant Just Desvern, in fifth place, with €25,286; Sant Cugat del Vallès, in seventh place, with 24,748 euros; Cabrils, in ninth place, with 24,186 euros; Sant Vicenç de Montalt, in twelfth place, with 23,697 euros; Teià, in thirteenth place, with 23,351 euros; and Tiana, in fourteenth place, with 23,325 euros. Below you can see the net income per capita for each municipality on the INE's interactive map.
The figures for the Catalan municipalities with the highest incomes are far behind the bottom of the ranking, which are occupied by Cambil (Jaén), with 9,232 euros; Zahínos (Badajoz), with 9,270 euros; Badolatosa (Seville), with 9,276 euros; La Mojonera (Almería), with 9,282 euros; and Deifontes (Granada), with 9,369 euros. Thus, the income per capita of the richest municipality in the state is more than three times that of the poorest.
By province, those with the highest annual net income per capita are Guipúzcoa, Vizcaya, and Madrid, while at the other end of the spectrum, with the lowest net income per capita, are Almería, Jaén, and Huelva. And if we analyze the bottom decile (people in the top 10%) with the highest annual income by census tract, the capitals with the highest incomes are San Sebastián (61.7%), Madrid (39.3%), and Barcelona (33.7%).
The INE has also published the average household income on an interactive map that lets you drill down to each census tract, giving you a practical idea of the average income in the neighborhood where you live. You can check it out below.
Another interactive map from the INE itself offers even more information. This one is not based on wealth, but on the difference between the richest and poorest in each location (the so-called Gini index), which provides an idea of the inequality in each area.
