Valencia neighborhoods: find yours by your own criteria

Where the data comes from

• Residents, age, children under 18, foreign residents and income: household income distribution atlas, Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE), 2023. Foreign residents are people without Spanish nationality; income is average net income per resident.
• University degree and renting: 2021 Spanish population and housing census by census section. Higher vocational qualifications are included; the share is of residents aged 16 and over.
• Rent: median monthly rent of apartments from tax data, rental price index of the Spanish Ministry of Housing, 2024.
• Distances to the center and the beach are measured from the middle of each district’s residential area, not of its whole territory: the three outer districts are mostly villages, farmland, woods and the Albufera lagoon. Most of the green space in Pobles del Sud is the Albufera Natural Park.
• Noise, tourist apartments and crime are not part of the Valencia score: they are not counted by district. Hilliness is not scored either: the city is flat.
• Cafés, shops, schools, doctors, stations, parks, cycle lanes, distances: © OpenStreetMap contributors, extract of 18 October 2026.

Data as of October 2026.
