How much do people from Bitonto earn? The average income is growing, but inflation is unforgiving – BitontoLive.it

The premise is necessary: ​​the analysis takes into consideration only the declared incomes and not, obviously, those resulting from undeclared work. Despite this clarification, the profile traced by the “papers” still has its relevance.

According to what emerges from the statements collected by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in 2023 (whose data, reprocessed by the data intelligence company Intwig, they refer to 2022), the average income of the people of Bitonto is 17,269 euros per capita984 euros more (+ 6%) compared to 2021.

The data – obtained by analyzing the income of 33,156 citizen taxpayers (out of a population of approximately 55 thousand inhabitants) – is in line with the positive trend that began immediately after the end of the pandemic: 2021, in fact, already stood at +4.9% compared to 2020. In previous years, however, the average income in the city had undergone smaller variations (2020: +0.1%; 2019: +1.1%; 2018: +3.7%; 2017: +0.3%).

The situation in the area

From the photograph of the area close to our city, it emerges that – again in relation to the 2023 declarations, referring to 2022 – they have a higher average per capita income than Bitonto Bari (22,419 euros), Molfetta (18.064) e Trani (17,573).

In Italy

Generally speaking, growth in Italian income is confirmed. Just to have a point of comparison, the richest municipality in Italy is Portofino, where the average income is 90,610 euros. Lajatico (in the province of Pisa, the city where Andrea Bocelli lives and presents his tax return) slips to second place (52,955 euros), while Basiglio (in whose territory the rich Milan 3 falls) is on the third step of the podium with 49,524 euros.

All that glitters is not gold

Per capita income is often used as an index to evaluate the well-being of an area. Although it is a valid tool for analyzing various aspects of the country’s economy, other factors must also be considered. If incomes in 2022 have in fact grown at a national level by 4.85%, it cannot fail to underline how – in the same year – inflation instead remained much higher, at 8.1%. A percentage which, in fact, constitutes a significant erosion of purchasing power.
