@ Andy & Oh PLease!... that's the average income per person, not per household - or at least that's the way it is written. If the reporting is correct, a household can be composed of two parents and two kids with a total income of 48,000 euros with the average income still being 12,000 euros per person.
This could be foto of a Mallorquin that owns half of the street, I know a couple like that.
12,000 per annum won't cover most people's rent and bills.
12000 Euros per annum and that is not poor - anyone checked rent pricing - 12k will get you a parking space
