Who lives here
Foreign residents with legal status (INE, 2021 to 2023, when the series ended) and net migration, the people who moved in minus those who left.
- Foreign residents, Ovar, 2023
- 1,812
- 3.2% of residents
- Net migration, Ovar, 2025
- +474
- 8.2 per 1,000 residents
Tax domicile is not nationality: a foreign citizen living in Portugal counts as resident, and a Portuguese emigrant buying from abroad counts as foreign. INE withholds the split where there are few sales, so smaller places show the nearest region that has it.
