Answer

Who is most likely to leave Mallorca because of housing pressure?

The people most at risk are often young couples, families, and workers with middle or lower incomes. Occupations that are important for daily life, such as teachers, care workers and tradespeople, are also under pressure when housing is too expensive. When people in these groups cannot find stable accommodation, moving away becomes more likely.
