Priorat: relationships between place of birth and
place of residence
La Bisbal Falset has the distinction of being the Priorat town
where the most inhabitants were born and still live in the same town (70.2%). In
contrast, only 17.6% of the current residents of La Morera de Montsant were born
in the town.
La Torre de Fontaubella is the Priorat town with the most
inhabitants born in the rest of the province of Tarragona, (60.2%), with just
24.1% of residents born in the town. Only Cornudella de Montsant and La Morera
de Montsant have similar trends, although the percentages are not so high as La
Torre.
The population with the highest percentage of people born in
the rest of Catalonia is La Morera de Montsant (26.4%), followed by Torroja del
Priorat with 24.6%. La Morera is unique in the Priorat region, since it is the
only settlement that has a higher percentage of residents born in the rest of
Catalonia than in the town itself.
Bellmunt del Priorat is the town where most residents were born
in the rest of Spain (excluding Catalonia), with 14.2%, and the town with least
born in the rest of Spain is La Bisbal de Falset with 4.0%.
La Morera de Montsant has the highest percentage of residents
born abroad, (11.5%), followed by La Vilella Baixa (6.8%), El Lloar (5.3%),
Marçà (4.9%), Falset (4.7%) and Cornudella de Montsant (4.4%). Els Guiamets is
the only Priorat town with no foreign residents. Ulldemolins, La Vilella Alta,
Bellmunt del Priorat, Poboleda and Cabassers all have less than 1% foreign
residents.
