Methodology

The BarrioRadar Spain City Accessibility Index provides an empirical, address-portal-weighted benchmark of everyday accessibility across Spain's 100 most populous municipalities.

1. Cohort Selection

Municipalities are selected exclusively by official registered population from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE Padrón Municipal 2024). Population size determines cohort eligibility; it does not determine accessibility ranking.

2. Spatial Micro-Grid Resolution

Each municipality is divided into uniform 250-metre micro-grid cells. Cells with zero address portals are excluded from address weighting to prevent unpopulated municipal territory from distorting measured accessibility.

3. Address Portal Weighting

Scores are calculated using the CartoCiudad address-portal-weighted mean: SUM(score × portals) / SUM(portals). Denser urban cores contribute proportionally higher weight than sparsely populated outer fringes.

4. Data Sources Parity

Evaluated using official General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) schedules from the Punto de Acceso Nacional (NAP), OpenStreetMap pedestrian networks, and CartoCiudad doorway coordinates under the BarrioRadar v1.1 engine.

5. Best-Performing 250 m Cell & Accessibility Spread

For each municipality, the highest-scoring 250 m cell is determined deterministically (ordered by score, represented address portals, and cell ID). Within-city variation is measured as the accessibility spread: difference between the P90 and P10 accessibility scores across evaluated 250 m cells (unweighted). Higher values indicate greater variation in accessibility scores across evaluated 250 m cells; lower values indicate more similar scores across the municipality.
