Who lives here
Foreign residents with legal status (INE, 2021 to 2023, when the series ended) and net migration, the people who moved in minus those who left.

Tax domicile is not nationality: a foreign citizen living in Portugal counts as resident, and a Portuguese emigrant buying from abroad counts as foreign. INE withholds the split where there are few sales, so smaller places show the nearest region that has it.
