Answer
What does the latest population data mean for Palma and other Mallorca municipalities?
The available figures do not show which municipalities are gaining or losing residents in detail. That makes it hard to tell whether the change is concentrated in Palma, the outskirts, or rural parts of Mallorca. Local planning for schools, healthcare, and services depends on that finer breakdown.
