This edition expands upon the section of indicators on housing prices, incorporating information from 2010 for all available regional areas, down to the level of administrative districts or neighbourhoods.

The methodology for the indicators on expenditure on the rent of the primary residence is also updated. Specifically, the data for previous years have been recalculated to include, in addition to dwellings, properties incorporating other associated uses, such as garages or storage rooms, with only those linked to economic or commercial activities being excluded. These indicators do not include information for País Vasco or Comunidad Foral de Navarra, due to a lack of available data for these autonomous communities.

Data revisions and updates

The data published today are final. All results of this operation are available on INEbase.

Methodological note

The Urban Indicators publications derives from the European Urban Audit Project which collects information on living conditions in European Union cities and candidate countries. This is a project launched in the late 1990s by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO), coordinated by Eurostat and developed by the Statistical Offices of the participating States.

Its objective is to compile, estimate and publish comparable statistical data of a socio-economic nature with the purpose of understanding and measuring living standards in a certain number of territorial areas related to the urban environment.

Type of operation:
Continuous annual survey. Data is collected from many different sources, mainly administrative data, and some indicators are built specifically for this statistic.
Geographical scope:
Data is offered for a selection of 126 cities, 9 conurbations, 70 functional areas around the main cities, as well as for the neighbourhoods of the 17 cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants.

A selection of indicators is also offered for all 423 municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants. Since these indicators come mainly from administrative sources, they can be obtained for all of these municipalities.
