This dataset accompanies the study Crime Metrics in Ibiza: Alternative Models and the Impact of the Floating Population, which analyzes crime trends in Ibiza between 2019 and 2024. The dataset provides comprehensive information on crime rates, population fluctuations, and alternative methodologies for calculating crime incidence in a region characterized by strong seasonal variations. Traditional crime rates are usually calculated based on census population data, which does not account for temporary residents, tourists, or seasonal workers. To address this limitation, two alternative methodologies were applied, incorporating floating population estimates to refine crime rate calculations and provide a more accurate representation of criminal activity on the island.

The dataset is structured into multiple sheets, each containing specific variables related to crime and population estimates. It includes official census population data sourced from the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) and crime rates derived from these figures. Additionally, the dataset contains estimated figures for tourism accommodation, based on statistics from the Balearic Institute of Statistics (IBESTAT). Using these estimates, a floating population adjustment has been applied, which allows for a recalculated crime rate that considers the significant impact of tourism on the island’s demographics.

A second approach within the dataset estimates the population using urban waste production data, sourced from the Consell d’Eivissa. Since the amount of waste generated is closely linked to population density, this methodology provides an alternative way to estimate the real number of people present on the island at any given time. The crime rates have been recalculated accordingly, providing an additional perspective on the relationship between demographic fluctuations and crime trends.

The dataset is derived from multiple authoritative sources, including official crime statistics from the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, census population data from INE, and detailed tourism and accommodation figures from IBESTAT. The urban waste methodology is based on data provided by the Consell d’Eivissa, which records the volume of waste generated by municipalities on a yearly basis. By integrating these diverse data sources, the dataset offers a more precise and adaptable model for understanding crime dynamics in a tourism-dependent region.

The methodologies applied in this dataset highlight the importance of accounting for floating populations when analyzing crime rates. The traditional crime rate model, which only considers permanent residents, tends to overestimate crime levels in regions with large seasonal populations. The tourism-based adjustment method corrects this by incorporating official and unofficial accommodation figures, while the urban waste-based method offers an alternative approach by estimating the real-time population based on resource consumption. Both approaches reveal significant differences between conventional crime rates and adjusted figures, emphasizing the need for policymakers to adopt more refined methodologies when developing crime prevention strategies.

This database compiles detailed information on Podarcis pityusensis censuses conducted across various urban and peri-urban sites, covering its geographical range.The dataset includes records of abundance and habitat characteristics for each surveyed site. Additionally, anthropogenic factors like population density and level of urbanization, have been collected.

Two monophyletic sister species of wall lizards inhabit the two main groups of Balearic Islands: Podarcis lilfordi from islets and small islands around Mallorca and Menorca and Podarcis pityusensis from Ibiza, Formentera and associated islets. Genetic diversity within the endangered P. lilfordi has been well characterized, but P. pityusensis has not been studied in depth. Here, 2430 bp of mtDNA and 15 microsatellite loci were analysed from P. pityusensis populations from across its natural range. Two main genetic groupings were identified, although geographical structuring differed slightly between the mtDNA and the nuclear loci. In general, individuals from islets/islands adjacent to the main island of Ibiza were genetically distinct from those from Formentera and the associated Freus islands for both mtDNA and the nuclear loci. However, most individuals from the island of Ibiza were grouped with neighbouring islets/islands for nuclear loci, but with Formentera and Freus islands for the mitochondrial locus. A time-calibrated Bayesian tree was constructed for the principal mitochondrial lineages within the Balearics, using the multispecies coalescent model, and provided statistical support for divergence of the two main P. pityusensis lineages 0.111–0.295 Ma. This suggests a mid-late Pleistocene intraspecific divergence, compared with an early Pleistocene divergence in P. lilfordi, and postdates some major increases in sea level between 0.4 and 0.6 Ma, which may have flooded Formentera. The program IMa2 provided a posterior divergence time of 0.089–0.221 Ma, which was similar to the multispecies coalescent tree estimate. More significantly, it indicated low but asymmetric effective gene copy migration rates, with higher migration from Formentera to Ibiza populations. Our findings suggest that much of the present-day diversity may have originated from a late Pleistocene colonization of one island group from the other, followed by allopatric divergence of these populations. Subsequent gene flow between these insular groups seems likely to be explained by recent human introductions. Two evolutionary significant units can be defined for P. pityusensis but these units would need to exclude the populations that have been the subjects of recent admixture.
