The Department of Social Rights of the Generalitat de Catalunya has released the 2025 Social Report, placing the cost of living in Baix Empordà at 3,130 euros per month, exceeding average earnings.

Official data shows that the average net household income in the region is 3,035 euros, resulting in a 95-euro monthly deficit. This gap is particularly visible in larger towns like Sant Feliu de Guíxols and la Bisbal d'Empordà.
In contrast, smaller villages such as Fontanilles and Torrent show a positive balance, with incomes significantly higher than the cost of living, despite these areas having some of the highest expenses in the Girona province.
