Where the data comes from

Residents, age, foreign residents, education, nationalities: Madrid City Council district indicator panel, 2025-2026.
Income: average disposable income per resident, Madrid City Council panel, 2023.
Rent: median monthly rent of apartments from tax data, rental price index of the Spanish Ministry of Housing, 2024.
Safety: Madrid municipal police security interventions in 2025, per 1,000 residents. They are counted where they happen, so the center scores higher because of visitors.
Open data has no district figures for noise or tourist apartments, so Madrid is not scored on them.
Cafés, shops, schools, doctors, stations, parks, cycle lanes, distances: © OpenStreetMap contributors, extract of 18 October 2026.
Hilliness: Copernicus DEM GLO-90 (© DLR e.V. 2010-2014 and © Airbus Defence and Space GmbH 2014-2018, provided under COPERNICUS by the European Union and ESA): height gap between the lowest and highest tenth of points in each area.

Data as of October 2026.

31.1% of residents in Centro hold a foreign nationality (2025). People who have become citizens are not included.

Which area of Madrid is the safest?

1.3 per 1,000 residents: police security call-outs in Retiro (2025), the lowest in the city. Figures are counted where incidents happen, so the center is higher because of visitors.

How is the score calculated?

0-100 points: on each criterion an area gets a percentile among the city’s areas, the percentiles are multiplied by your weights from 0 to 3 and added up. Criteria without data are left out; if less than half of the chosen weight has data, you see not enough data instead of a score.

Can I save my selection and share it?

Yes. Your goal, budget and weights are stored in the page address: copy the link from the address bar and send it.

Can a manager find a home in the area I pick?

Yes. Press Ask a manager on the area card: the manager helps with the home search, checking the lease and residence permit papers. The cost of support is on request from the manager.
