What rents in Calp actually are
A flat in Calp rents at a reference of 7,24 €/m², the middle of the Spanish range and the level at which old and new contracts diverge most. It rests on 1.455 declared leases. Five years have added 26,7 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.

How much of the stock is rented
At 62,38 % not a main residence, the long-term rental stock in Calp is the leftover of a holiday market.
The census publishes tenure only for the larger municipalities and the provincial capitals, so no rented share is available for Calp.
The reference figures, and how far apart they sit
5,37 €/m² against 9,34 €/m² is a wide spread: in Calp the same nominal flat means very different things.
