Puntos de debate o controversia
- Rol del presidente de comisión vs. opinión personal: La concejala Ternisier solicitó un punto de reglamento cuando el concejal Morgado extendió su intervención más allá de la cuenta de comisión; hubo réplicas cruzadas y el alcalde defendió la práctica actual.
- Condiciones de guardias municipales: Varios concejales reiteraron solicitudes de varios años por casetas adecuadas, especialmente en la entrada de DIDECO; el alcalde indicó que están "sanjadas".
- Alza del combustible/MEPCO: Debate político entre concejales oficialistas y de oposición sobre responsabilidades del gobierno actual y el anterior.
- Casino clandestino: La concejala Ternisier reiteró (según ella, por más de 6 meses) al alcalde que cierre un establecimiento de este tipo; el alcalde no respondió explícitamente en la sesión.
- Seguridad comunal: La concejala Ternisier rebatió al alcalde, quien afirmó que no hay robos desde diciembre; ella enumeró varios hechos registrados en redes vecinales. El alcalde aclaró que su referencia era a robos en lugares habitados en el centro.
- Muñeco con simbología nazi en paradero 11: El concejal Erras lo denunció y varios concejales lo condenaron; el concejal Gamuri cuestionó que no se condenara con la misma energía que actos similares contra otras figuras políticas.
- Recursos históricos transferidos a la Corporación Municipal: El alcalde aludió a ~$5.000 millones transferidos durante la gestión anterior; la concejala Góngora respondió que mejorar condiciones laborales de funcionarios de salud no puede catalogarse de "mal gasto".
- Oficina Local de la Niñez (OLN): La concejala Ternisier planteó inconsistencias sobre lista de espera, decreto de coordinación vigente y posible doble función de la coordinadora; solicitó respuesta al director de DIDECO y anunció consultas vía transparencia.

- Plaza Belén y Plaza General Bernales: El alcalde informó que la caseta de Belén está adquirida (pendiente ploteo); en Bernales se negocian condiciones para instalar base de la Patrulla Centauro antes del nuevo cuartel mixto.
- Subvenciones y presupuestos participativos: La concejala Góngora aclaró públicamente que postular a subvenciones no inhabilita a juntas de vecinos para los presupuestos participativos; plazo de subvenciones vence la semana siguiente.

Population trend
How it has changedSource: Official INE series 2002–2026 (2017 base).
See the full trajectory to 2050 →INE projects comuna population only through 2035; the 2050 values are an own estimate by the monitor, anchored to the official INE 2050 national total (21,626,079 inhab, 32.1% aged 60+). Not an official comuna figure.

| Homes with public water supply (2017 Census) | 96,4 % | CENSO 2017 2017 |

The PAES year is that of the admission process: the test is sat in November of the previous year. The average covers only those who registered to apply to university —not every secondary-school graduate— and groups them by the comuna of the school they graduated from, not by where the student lives. Here it rests on 1.884 students registered for the PAES.

Aggregate of all the comuna's schools (RBD → comuna). Pass/withdrawal and attendance are from the 2025 school year.

Specialties with services recorded at the comuna's public facilities (REM DEIS, 2024). These are services performed, not doctor headcount. Excludes the private network.

Foreign-born populationSource: 2024 Census · INE
International immigrants per the 2024 Census (people born outside Chile living in the comuna). Nationwide they are 1,608,650 people, 8.8% of the population.
Housing and housing deficitSource: MINVU (Encampment Registry + 2024 Census deficit + subsidies) · INE
Encampments: MINVU National Registry 2024 (irregular settlements and the families living in them). Quantitative deficit: homes missing per the 2024 Census (doubling-up + unrecoverable overcrowding). Permits: new homes authorized by the Works Directorate in 2024 (INE) — measures future construction, not stock. Subsidies: MINVU by application comuna — DS49 accrues beneficiaries by resolution year; DS01 and DS52 accrue payments by application cohort (national totals in the source file differ ~1–6% from the comuna sum; the comuna series is published).

Elderly careSource: Chile Cuida · National Assets / SENAMA
Long-stay facilities for the elderly registered in Chile Cuida. Comunas without ELEAM send their elders to other comunas. With projected ageing (see Demographic projection), this capacity defines whether one can age in one's own comuna.

Roads and motorwaysSource: OpenStreetMap · 2026 snapshot
Road infrastructure of the MOP and concession holders, not the municipality: it measures how much highway crosses the territory, not municipal management. Only comunas with roads of this category are counted.
Biodiversity and protected areasSource: SNASPE · SEIA baselines
Species of flora, fauna and funga documented in the baselines of the projects evaluated by SEIA in the comuna — what their environmental studies recorded in the territory. Conservation status (RCE/IUCN) and Chilean endemism are flagged.
CR critically endangered · EN endangered · VU vulnerable · NT near threatened (Species Classification Regulation / IUCN). ★ endemic to Chile. Extracted from SEIA studies by kingdom; presence reflects what baselines characterized, not a census.

Area = hectares of wetland within the comuna boundary (apportioned using the DPA table of each record). For wetlands shared between comunas, "portion / total" is shown. "Urban" = urban wetland (HUR code). Official source migrated to the SBAP (Law 21,600).
Large projects approved by SEIASource: SEIA · approved projects
Projects with an environmental permit (RCA) approved by SEIA and declared investment above US$ 10 million, located in the comuna according to the case file and grouped by sector. Every sector with at least one project is listed: this is not a ranking or a selection. 5 projects totaling US$ 194 million, approved between 1997 and 2024. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.
Approved is not the same as built or operating: the RCA authorises the project, but some were never carried out and others have since closed.
Source: projects with an RCA approved by SEIA (investment declared by the developer, split among the comunas the project spans). Under each sector are its two largest projects by investment. It is the best public proxy for large industrial sites; SERNAGEOMIN’s registry of active mining operations (by mineral and type of operation) is a layer not yet incorporated.
Basic utilitiesSource: SISS · CNE · MINEDUC
Almost no comuna has its own utility: it is served by a major regional concession holder. Water = urban operational territory (SISS; rural goes via APR); electric = concession distributor per the tariff decree (CNE); higher education = university, IP and CFT campuses (MINEDUC/SIES), with the nearest comuna when there are none.

Official registries: they exclude illegal dumps and rural WWTPs (no consolidated public registry).
Forest firesSource: CONAF · Occurrence and damage statistics (2023-2024)
Occurrence and area affected by wildfires (CONAF). The 5-season cumulative gives a fairer picture than a single year: fire is episodic and big catastrophes concentrate in few seasons. The area is comuna-wide, not just urban.
Winter riskSource: SENAPRED · winter critical points 2026 (via FAU U. de Chile)
Points in the comuna where SENAPRED identifies winter-rain risk (channel overflows, flooding, collector collapse, landslides, mudflows, snow), with risk level and the agency responsible for the fix.
Water scarcitySource: DGA · MOP (scarcity-zone decrees)
DGA water-scarcity zone decrees (by comuna, province or region; basin decrees are not counted here, so chronicity is a floor). The decree enables extraordinary water redistribution measures. At the megadrought's peak (2021) 286 comunas were under decree; today 26.
Climate and climate changeSource: ARClim · MMA + CR2/UC (CMIP6 modeling)
Modeled climatology (CMIP6 downscaling ~5 km): present ≈ 1980-2010, projection ≈ 2035-2065 middle scenario. Not recent weather observation.

Municipal security infrastructure and staff declared to SINIM (since 2016). Excludes Carabineros and PDI, which are national.
Road crashesSource: CONASET · Data Observatory (2024)
Crashes georeferenced by CONASET (urban + highway) during 2024. The only per-comuna source; covers ~70% of the country's deaths (non-geolocatable ones are excluded), so it slightly underestimates the total. Pedestrian collision is the leading cause of pedestrian death.
