Zoom out with the wheel to see the whole region: hover over a town for its figures, click it to open it. The map shows the municipality’s administrative boundary. There’s nothing to select inside it: this city has no district breakdown. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

The map shows Canals as a whole, outlined by the municipality’s administrative boundary. There’s no district breakdown for it: the city doesn’t have enough named areas with their own separate statistics. INE’s census tracts have no names, and “tract 1-004” means nothing to a buyer. So all the figures below are for the municipality as a whole, not its parts. For now, only these cities have named districts: Alicante (46), Calpe (5), Castellón (6), Dénia (6), El Campello (4), Finestrat (3), Jávea / Xàbia (6), l'Alfàs del Pi (3), La Nucía (4), La Vila Joiosa (5), Mutxamel (6), Torrevieja (5), Valencia (88).

Gini index
The Gini index shows how unequally residents’ income is spread: 0 means everyone earns the same, 100 means one person earns everything. The lower the number, the smaller the gap between rich and poor.

Safety

No data available. Spain’s Interior Ministry publishes crime statistics only for municipalities with more than 20,000 residents, and this one has 13,805.

We won’t substitute provincial figures here: they wouldn’t be statistics for this city, just a different measure under its name.
