Palma in Transition: Where Incomes Soar — and Who Still Owns the City

Answer

Is Palma becoming harder to afford for local families?

Yes, many local families are feeling more pressure from higher rents and rising everyday costs. In some parts of Palma, income growth has been strong, but other neighborhoods have not kept pace, which widens the gap. That makes it harder for younger residents and long-term locals to stay in the city.
