About us

Here is the first photograph of the community of European residents living in the town of Santa Eulària des Riu. The statistics have been provided by the INE (National Statistics Institute) and the IBESTAT (Statistical Institute of the Balearic Islands).

We must point out that the figures are never exact (especially on an island like Ibiza, where sociological change is continuous) and that we can provide both sources of data with the clarifications we consider necessary.

What is true, however, is that these statistics are accurate data that, at least, give us a preliminary basis for knowledge and discussion.

The review of the figures at the end of 2016 (IBESTAT) shows a total of 36,119 inhabitants, of whom 18,300 are men and 17,819 women. If we examine the data on the trend in the number of foreign-born residents of this total population, we reach the following conclusion:

With regard to the birthplaces of the inhabitants of Santa Eulària des Riu, an important factor for appraising their respective socio-cultural origins, the latest available figures for 2017 are as follows:

8,984 inhabitants were natives of other municipalities of the Pitiusas Islands,

5,140 inhabitants were natives of Santa Eulària des Riu,

426 inhabitants were natives of Mallorca or Menorca.

To conclude, in order to assess the proportion of European residents among the foreign population living in Santa Eulària des Riu, we should refer to the statistics below, corresponding to the years 2015-2016, which represent a sociological sample of 7,121 people and which reveal the respective proportions of the main nationalities.

The first figures to become available in 2017 (Register of the Santa Eulària des Riu Town Council). These figures are provisional and are in the process of being processed by the official statistical agencies, at state level and at the level of the Autonomous Region of the Balearic Islands. This could explain, in addition to the natural sociological movements observed between 2015 and 2017, the discrepancy between the 2015-2016 figures (source Ibestat) and the 2017 figures (source Census). For the main European nationalities living in Santa Eulària des Riu, the figures are as follows:
