National mean is the unweighted commune mean for this crime family (communes ≥ 10k population, latest complete year). Methodology.

Communes ranked by domestic violence rate per 100,000 inhabitants (2025)

Rates are reported complaints (denuncias) per 100,000 residents per year, sourced from CEAD official police statistics. Communes with small or seasonal/touristic resident populations can show very high rates because the figure is divided by a small resident base.
