Alicante records worst socio-economic decline in the country with 41% vulnerable areas

Alicante has become the Spanish city with the worst socio-economic decline according to recent data, with more than 41% of its census sections classified as vulnerable.

The situation reflects a significant deterioration in the living conditions of residents, where the average income of household units stands more than €3,000 below the Spanish average.

This impoverishment phenomenon affects nearly half the local population, with the decline concentrated in certain urban areas that have experienced progressive economic regression.

The data highlight significant structural challenges for the city in terms of social and economic development, raising questions about housing, employment and territorial cohesion policies.
