This project compiles and presents data exclusively from official sources. No own estimates are made and data is not editorialized. When there are discrepancies between sources (for example, between INE and AIReF in demographic projections), both are presented with their context.
The limitations of each statistic are documented in its corresponding section. For example, detention statistics reflect police actions (not unique individuals) and do not distinguish between regular and irregular foreigners.
Data is updated when official sources publish new figures, typically quarterly or annually depending on the statistic.
