ACN | Barcelona
The town of Matadepera has jumped to the top of the list of the richest places in Spain
with an average annual income of €218,788 in 2018
According to the latest data published on Tuesday by the Tax Agency
is followed in Catalonia by Sant Just Desvern (Baix Llobregat) and Sant Cugat del Vallès (Vallès Occidental)
where residents have an average annual income of €58,875 and €57,565 respectively
putting it way out ahead of any other municipality in Spain
The second and third richest towns in Spain are in Madrid: Pozuelo de Alarcón is second with €79,506 and Boadilla del Monte third with €61,910
As was the case with Avinyonet de Penedès previously, it may well be the income of one extremely wealthy resident that has caused Matadepera, population 9,326, to leap to the top of the rankings.
The rest of the top ten positions in the Catalan ranking are occupied by Alella (Maresme), with an average income of €54,412 per year; Sant Vicenç de Montalt (Maresme), with €52,058; Cabrils (Maresme), with €48,765; Sitges (Garraf), with €48,042; Peralada (Alt Empordà), with €46,576; Teià (Maresme), with €46,128; Castelldefels (Baix Llobregat), with €45,279; and Cabrera de Mar (Maresme), with €44,843.

In the Province of Barcelona there are two municipalities that stand out for being the richest: Matadepera and Sant Just Desvern
with average incomes of 22,806 and 21,511 euros
Barcelona is known for being one of the most expensive cities in Spain to live in
but wealth is not limited to the Catalan capital
According to recent data from the Statistical Institute of Catalonia (Idescat)
the average income per person in Catalonia is 14,152 euros
The study conducted by Idescat evaluated the socioeconomic index through several indicators
The employed population in Catalonia represents 64%
which explains why the figures vary significantly between municipalities
only 37 have a high socioeconomic level and of these
twelve are in the metropolitan area of Barcelona
More and more people are opting to look for housing outside the city of Barcelona due to the rising cost of housing
Barcelona holds the title of having the most expensive rent in all of Spain
as well as topping the list of cities with the most expensive rooms in shared apartments in the country
This increase in housing costs has led to an increase in the demand for housing in the municipalities near Barcelona
have become popular destinations for those who wish to live close to the city without incurring the high costs
According to the half-yearly index published by Idealista
the periphery of Barcelona is the most sought-after area to live in
Santa Coloma de Gramenet leads the list with an average rental price of 842 euros per month
which offers a good connection to Barcelona and an average price of 965 euros per month
Cornellà de Llobregat and Badalona are also in the top positions in the ranking
with average rents of 933 and 1,147 euros per month
the city of Barcelona itself ranks 15th in the ranking of the most sought-after areas to live in with a monthly rent of 1,087 euros
a figure that exceeds the minimum professional wage
It is closely followed by cities such as Terrassa
While Barcelona remains one of the most expensive cities in Spain to live in
municipalities such as Matadepera and Sant Just Desvern lead the province of Barcelona in terms of average income per person
This economic disparity in the region has led to an increase in demand for housing in nearby municipalities
where housing costs are more affordable compared to Barcelona
