Where the data comes from

Residents, age, foreign residents, education, building age, renting and parking: 2021 Portuguese census, Statistics Portugal.
Three of Porto’s seven parishes are unions of former parishes, as the census has counted them since 2013: one of them covers Cedofeita, Sé, Miragaia and three more parishes of the historic center.
Statistics Portugal counts rent for Porto as a whole, so there is no budget filter here: a manager sends listings with prices in the parish you need.
Noise, income and crime are not part of the Porto score: they are not counted by parish.
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.
