Notes:
Housing starts with state subsidy according to provisional qualifications and the neighbourhood replanning programme.
Law 23/2010, of July 22, on the creation of the area of Penedès, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas. This change implies that the data for the Metropolitan Area, Central Counties and Camp de Tarragona are not directly comparable with previous years.
