23 May 2023

Summary

Between 2018 and 2020, the municipality of Odemira (16.9%) recorded the highest proportion of taxable persons who moved up two or more deciles in the gross reported income less personal income tax paid distribution and, the municipality of Bragança (8.5%) observed the lowest value among municipalities in the country.

The municipal analysis of the proportion of taxable persons who moved down two or more deciles in the income distribution, between 2018 and 2020, highlights the municipality of Albufeira with the highest value (16.9%) and, the municipality of Montalegre (6.9%) with the lowest value.

The joint analysis of the two previous indicators, at the municipal level, reveals that in 96% of the municipalities (out of 297 municipalities with available information), upward mobility in the income distribution between 2018 and 2020 was more expressive than downward mobility and also indicates a strong positive association between the intensity of upward and downward mobility in the income distribution.
