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).
