Against

  • Momentum 34/100The local market is not helping: the recent series are flat or falling.
  • Approximate unemployment of 34%Above the Spanish average: this is market context, not a measure of tenant risk.
  • 0.84 repossessions per 1,000 dwellingsRepossession pressure above the average, a provincial figure that signals market stress.
