Methodology
The indicator is the number of schools (pre-school, primary and secondary) per 10,000 inhabitants of the comarca, from the Generalitat's Department of Education (2024/2025 school year). A higher value means more educational provision per resident, often a good sign for families with children. Comarques with more schools per resident appear first; green marks the best-provisioned.
