In Madrid where the average monthly pretax salary is below 1500 a shared room with four strangers costs 400-709 a month and small aprtments in bad neighborhoods cost 3000-4000 a square meter to buy.
- throwaway_2626 4mo agoAverage monthly pretax salary in Madrid: 2 575.46 EUR (source in es_ES: https://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/evolucionado-salario-medio-comunidad-madrid-ultimos-anos-20250213090813-nt.html https://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/evolucionado-salario-medio-...) Also, a shared apartment costs as much as you say. Not a room (source: idealista.es). Purchase prices are high, but I'm curious as to what you consider a bad neighborhood, given the overall safety statistics in Spain, and Madrid in particular. Housing affordability is a real problem, but misrepresenting data is counterproductive, as it can be easily disproven.
