What the housing stock is like here

Santa Coloma de Gramenet has 44,178 main homes, and the most common size is 46 to 60 m² — 50.7% of them. 61.2% come in under 60 m², so the work here is bathrooms and kitchens far more often than full renovations.

30,840 of those homes are owner-occupied, 69.8%. That is the figure that actually matters for a renovation, because a tenant does not commission a kitchen. There are 44,178 households and 123,250 residents in total.

41,421 homes were built before 1981, 3% 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 €16,649 per resident (Idescat, 2023).

One of the densest and oldest stocks in the area, with small flats. Bathroom and kitchen jobs dominate over full renovations.
