Galapagar rents: the declared figures
It is 23,9 % above the reference of five years earlier. 2.165 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. At 8,56 €/m², Galapagar is an expensive rental market by Spanish standards.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
The comparison that matters
Within Madrid, that is the tenth lowest lower-quartile rent per square metre among the municipalities this guide covers.
Across the country, the reference rent per square metre here belongs to the top quarter.
Set against the other Madrid municipalities in this guide, it has the sixth lowest median declared monthly rent.
A sense of scale
Country-wide, that upper-quartile rent per square metre is one of the band just below the top quarter.
Judged only against Madrid, the median floor area of a let flat here is the eighteenth lowest in the guide.
Nationally, that number of declared leases falls in the thirteenth twentieth from the bottom.
Measured against its neighbours
Take Madrid alone: among the municipalities here, its five-year change in the reference rent is the fifth highest.
Put beside the rest of the country, its share of dwellings that are not a main residence belongs to the exact middle of the range.
On population it is the eleventh lowest of the Madrid municipalities this guide covers.

The reference figures, and how narrow the range is
A quote above 10,31 €/m² needs a reason you can point at; one below 7,14 €/m² needs a survey.
7,14 €/m² to 10,31 €/m² is a narrow spread, so the address matters less here than the size.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lower quartile | 7,14 €/m² |
| Median | 8,56 €/m² |
| Upper quartile | 10,31 €/m² |
| Median monthly rent | 636,67 € |
| Median floor area | 78 m² |
