Summary
The Data Observatory has expanded its scope by incorporating local economic indicators from CaixaBank, allowing users to analyze demographic and housing measures alongside economic data such as car ownership rates. An analysis of municipalities in Madrid revealed unusual patterns, including Robledo de Chavela and Colmenar de Arroyo, which have a high number of cars despite having relatively small populations. The Data Observatory can be used to gain insights into voter turnout and its impact on economic resources, with potential applications such as exempting low-voting populations from vehicular taxes.
