Grade scale
Demographic momentum
2013–2023 · 2 observations · two published figuresAnnualised from the only two figures this source publishes. With no series in between, acceleration cannot be measured, so none is shown.
Price momentum
2020–2025 · regional figure (district)This rate is published for the whole region, not for this municipality: every municipality in the region carries the same number, so it cannot separate neighbouring towns. It is the region’s appreciation minus the population-weighted national average over the same window.
Indicators (official sources)
Climate & resilience
95/100Beach season
How long the outdoor season lasts: days at 22 °C or more, summer nights and winter mildness (Open-Meteo ERA5). High = a long outdoor season.
Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — ERA5 · 2026-07-31
summer nights 20.4 °C · winter days 16.4 °C
Climate comfort
Sunny but mild: sunny days, days above 30 °C and frost days (Open-Meteo ERA5). High = bright, without punishing heat or hard winters.
Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — ERA5 · 2026-07-31
0 days >30 °C · 0 frost days · ⌀ 18 °C
Local vitality
50/100Foreign residents
Share of residents with foreign nationality (each country's official population register or census — see the source below). An established international community often eases a newcomer's integration. Higher scores better.
INE Portugal — população estrangeira com estatuto legal de residente (0013220) ÷ população residente (0008273) · 2023-12-31
593 / 34,782 · 2023
Attractiveness (points of interest)
Density of points of interest per km² (tourism, culture, food, leisure, nature) from OpenStreetMap. Higher means a livelier/more attractive area.
OpenStreetMap — points of interest · 2026-08-01
508 POI
Population
Official number of residents (INE municipal register / Padrón).
INE Portugal — Estimativas anuais da população residente (0008273) · 2023-12-31
2023
Population change (10 years)
Population change over ~10 years — the key indicator of a village's vitality.

2013 → 2023
Amenities & access
45/100Air connectivity
Ease of access to international airports, weighted by their importance and the straight-line distance from the municipality centre. Higher means better international connections.
TerraNova — air connectivity (curated airports) · 2026-07-27
Terceira-Lajes (TER) · Lisboa-Humberto Delgado (LIS) 1,571.1 km
Everyday essentials
How many of the four essential services (pharmacy, supermarket, school, doctor) are actually inside the municipality boundary, according to OpenStreetMap. This counts presence, not distance: a municipality with none of the four means a drive for every errand.
OpenStreetMap — everyday essential services · 2026-07-28
pharmacy · supermarket · school · doctor
Property value
52/100Property price (€/m²)
Indicative price per m² (MITMA provincial proxy). A lower price improves the affordability score.
INE Portugal — valor mediano de venda €/m² (proxy distrital, interim) · 2025-12-31
Market & investment
48/100Market liquidity
Number of sales per 1,000 dwellings (MITMA — property transactions). A liquid market resells more easily. Higher is better.
INE Portugal — mercado imobiliário (proxy distrital, interim) · 2025-12-31
Price appreciation (~5 years)
Average annual growth (CAGR) of the price per m² over about 5 years (Ministry of Housing — open-market housing value). Measures whether the local market is rising. Higher means more appreciation.
INE Portugal — mercado imobiliário (proxy distrital, interim) · 2025-12-31
Gross rental yield
Estimated gross rental yield: reference rent (SERPAVI) ÷ purchase price (MITMA) × 12. Indicative, derived from two official sources. Higher means better yield.
INE Portugal — mercado imobiliário (proxy distrital, interim) · 2025-12-31
7 €/m²
Tourism potential (short-term rental)
Tourist-accommodation places per 1,000 inhabitants (INE). A proxy for short-term rental potential. High = strong rental potential (but also more tourism).
INE Portugal — mercado imobiliário (proxy distrital, interim) · 2025-12-31
1,391 · 2025
Further context
Measured and published, but deliberately not part of the grade.
Recorded crime
All recorded crime per 1,000 inhabitants (DGPJ/INE, Portugal). Not part of the grade, and not comparable with the French burglary rate: the denominator and the offences both differ.
