Do you like the autonomous community in which you live? Would you change it? And if so, where would you leave? To another tip of Spain or would you look further, abroad? Recently the Mutual Group technicians did A curious experiment: They dedicated themselves to interviewing more than 2,300 people distributed by Spain to raise those same issues and find out to what extent they are satisfied with the region in which they live or, if possible, where they would like to move.
The result is striking.
A percentage: 67%. Notice the cis It reminds us That Spaniards are concerned about such elementary issues as access to housing, unemployment or economy, but still the vast majority do not consider looking for fortune in other countries. That is at least the main reading that leaves the II Housing Barometer ‘Owner planet’, prepared by Mutual Group owners.
After conducting thousands of interviews their technicians found that almost seven out of ten Spaniards (67%) want to continue residing in the country, which represents a slight two -point rebound with respect to 2024. For its authors it is “a discreet but significant rise” that suggests “greater satisfaction with the place where we live.” Of course, when taking out the magnifying glass and analyzing the data we observe some nuances that reveal that not all Spaniards are equally satisfied.
Age of age? The most important difference is related to age. The oldest Spaniards are the least inclined to make their bags to leave the country, a reality that contrasts with the younger population cohort.
The study It shows that while 77% of those over 65 ensure that they want to maintain their residence in Spain, that percentage drops to 54% when we talk about young people aged 18 to 24. It is not a surprising fact if the difficulties with those found to access housing and that The unemployment rate Between 16 and 24 years it exceeds the rest of the stripes.
Another fact: 51%. The barometer It shows another curious fact that gives even more game. Perhaps the perspective of packing and moving to another point in Europe or even America, Asia or Africa does not excite the vast majority of the population, but the study reveals that the Spaniards are more willing to move to another autonomous community. Moreover, it is a “feasible” perspective for 51%. Last year that percentage reached 54%.
What regions do we look mostly? Andalusia, the one desired by 9%, followed by Asturias (6%), Basque Country (5%) and the Canary Islands (5%). Preferences oscillate however from one community to another, just as the percentage of people satisfied with the place where they reside and that of those who recognize that they would not mind liking the blanket at the head and move to another community.
Two cases: Andalusia and Madrid. When he reviewed Your data And he calculated the local population percentages satisfied with his community, Mutual Group of owners took another surprise. The reason? There are differences. And deep. In Andalusia, 59% of the interviewees ensure that it would not change region, which makes it the community with the greatest roots in the entire country. 6% recognize not being clear and 35% would move to other latitudes, especially to Asturias and the Canary Islands, places to which 12% of respondents would go.
In the opposite pole is Madrid, the community with the most detached population. At least according to the Mutual Group study. Only 25% say they would not change community. Another 8% confess that they do not know if it would leave. Conclusion? 67% of Madrid They would transfer their lives to another territory. Which one exactly? If we talk about Spain the most desired places by the inhabitants of the capital are Andalusia (12%), Asturias (9%) and Community Valencian (8%), followed by Cantabria, Castilla y León and Galicia, regions tied with 6%.
The big question: why? The study has its limitations, but leaves an interesting question: why do so many Madrid people recognize themselves willing to leave? For the company they come into play various factors: “The accelerated rhythm of life, the cost of housing and urban congestion lead to the population to look for quieter or affordable environments.” The authors of the study remember that the percentages also tell us about issues such as the “degree of stability” of the population, attachment, climate, quality of life and “cultural identity.”
The cost of housing can be another crucial element, as are job opportunities. The report reveals that another community with a high percentage of open population to leave is Balearic Islands. Only 29% guarantees that they would not change region and 12% say they have no clear opinion about it, which translates into the remaining 59% is not a crazy idea. The Balearic Islands and Madrid share a peculiarity: they are the communities in which It is more expensive Buy house. The third is a Basque Country, where 43% would be clearly moved.
