Where the problem shows up in this snapshot
This concentration means that enforcement, market pressure, and neighbour impact are not evenly distributed across the island.
North and east coast municipalities often rank high; Palma appears strongly but does not always lead. The pattern matches tourism pressure and second-home demand more than a random spread across the island. Small differences between municipalities still matter locally, but the overall pattern is clear: the problem is clustered.
