What the data says

Segovia stands out for safety, prosperity and climate; it is weaker on connectivity and digital. A typical 70 m² rental costs about €480 a month (2024).

  • Distance to the main airport: the highest of 38 major European cities (68 km, 2026).
  • Vehicle thefts: the 3rd lowest of 151 Spanish cities above 50,000 (10 per 100k people, 2025).
  • Frost days: 58 a year (2015–2024), more than in 98% of Spanish cities above 50,000.

Who it suits, 0 to 100

Before you move: our read of the numbers

Practical conclusions we draw from Segovia’s figures. They are inferences, not official statistics: each says what it rests on.

Plan on Spanish from day one

Our guess

Few residents come from English-speaking or northern European countries, so daily life runs in Spanish. Contracts, the town hall and most doctors work in Spanish.

  • 20.0% of residents speak English (Castilla y León), 2021
  • 3.3% born elsewhere in Europe or in North America (Castilla y León)

Winters need real heating

Likely

Frosty nights are common. Many older Spanish flats are poorly insulated: ask about heating and the winter energy bill.

  • 58 frost days a year

Line up work before you come

Our guess

People born abroad are in work less often than people born in Spain across Castilla y León. Remote income or a job offer makes the move far easier.

  • employment gap: -5.0 points

Ready for remote work

Likely

Almost every home can get gigabit fibre, so working from home is not a gamble on the flat you pick.

  • 98% of homes can get gigabit
