The study Social and Protected Housing in the Girona region, conducted by researchers Dolors Canals and Elena del Rey, highlights a worrying reality. Despite Alt Empordà having a high absolute number of protected units, the ratio per 1,000 inhabitants remains low.
“"In 2010, 185 social housing units were started. Since 2011, no year has exceeded 76 units, and most years record very low or zero figures."
Between 2018 and 2024, only 30 new units were started, while the population grew by 7%. This lack of supply has discouraged residents, with active applications falling from 776 in 2012 to 525 in 2024.
