What the housing stock is like here

L'Hospitalet de Llobregat has 101,808 main homes, and the most common size is 46 to 60 m² — 38.9% of them. 72.4% come in under 60 m², so the work here is bathrooms and kitchens far more often than full renovations.

66,942 of those homes are owner-occupied, 65.8%. That is the figure that actually matters for a renovation, because a tenant does not commission a kitchen. There are 101,811 households and 292,161 residents in total.

93,237 homes were built before 1981, 6.7% of all the older stock across the 85 municipalities. In that band you normally find wiring with no earth, original soil pipes and aluminium windows with no thermal break, and that is what pushes a quote up. Gross disposable household income is €17,591 per resident (Idescat, 2023).

The second-oldest stock in the area and mostly Spanish-speaking. 1960s and 70s blocks with 3 to 4 m² bathrooms and original soil pipes.
