Sources, coverage and calculation
The published sample contains 91 buildings. Residential and mixed-use buildings are shown separately; 21 other or unclassified buildings are outside these groups.
All buildings assigned to this area in the published release are included, even without indexable pages. This is not a census of every building in the area. Groups use the recorded use classification.
Missing renovation records do not establish that no works took place. Records may cover only part of a building. Construction years can be approximate.
Unit certificate statistics do not certify the whole building; coverage varies. Missing records do not prove that a certificate does not exist.
Tourist pressure classes use the existing Barcelona residential/mixed-building reference, not a ranking within this area. They model registered accommodation and proximity to activity areas, not measured visitors or noise.
Medians and period shares need at least 20 known values. Above-ground levels include the ground floor.
