  1. The percentages in the census indicate the approximate contribution regarding to the total immigrants. *1 Lattes and Sautu [8] defines the 'masculinity index' (here denote as M) as the amount of man immigrants per 100 woman immigrants. Here, we define MIT/MSP as the quotient of the M value in Italians divided by the M value in Spaniards.
