Questions & answers

Which is the wealthiest neighborhood in Málaga?
Limonar-Pedregalejo ranks #1 of 64 areas on ESmap's socioeconomic score, followed by Victoria-Malagueta (La Caleta) and Santa Paula-Litoral (Sacaba Beach).
How is this ranking calculated?
Each area gets a score built from median income per consumption unit and poverty rates (INE Atlas 2023), plus a Census 2021 vulnerability index (unemployment and the share of residents with higher education). Indicators are standardised across Málaga's 64 scored areas (z-scores) and combined as a weighted sum. Details: esmap.space/methodology/.
