6 barchillas of wheat in order to be able to eat 36 in a given year. From the document of 1609, we know that the huerta of Gandia could yield approximately 8 barchillas per fanegada (that is, just over 16 hectolitres per hectare). Thus in the most fertile part of Valencia, with very high yields for the epoch, a small peasant family might have required about 8 fanegadas (say two-thirds of an hectare) of huerta just to be self-sufficient in bread; and it must be remembered that even these high yields were diminished by inefficient, broadcast sowing which was more costly on seed than present day methods.

All these calculations are based on property within a particular jurisdictional area held by the resident inhabitants thereof, except that in the ghettos of Oliva and Segorbe the proprietors from the old town are included since the resettlement communities there had ceased to exist as valid units by the 1660s.
The medium settler evidently failed to hold his own in Habsburg Valencia: this new world quickly became an old world of rich and poor. In Segorbe and Oliva, Morisco ghettos attached to big Old Christian towns, the resettlements simply disintegrated, with the properties falling partly into the hands of people from across the wall in the old part of the town. Admittedly by the 1660s the process of takeover and concentration had not yet gone all that far, and the upper decile controlled only between a quarter and a third of the ex-Morisco lands.
