Plata y obras
- Ambulancia: Presupuesto ajustado a ~100 millones de pesos (60 millones del Royalty + 40 millones de salud municipal). Se relicitará; la licitación anterior quedó desierta. Concejales debatieron si la especificación 4x4 es necesaria dado el sobrecosto estimado (~20 millones más).
- Proyectos en licitación/adjudicación próxima: Plaza Rinconada de Manantiales, mejoramiento área verde Cargajardo, plaza Villa Fidel María Balleres. La sede adultos mayores/asociación de fútbol y la plaza Villa San Francisco tienen problemas pendientes (la segunda, en vía judicial con empresa ejecutora).
- Circuito patrimonial y turístico: Ya en ejecución (plaza Villa Carranza, área verde Villa Vencer, trayectos Tulio Contreras/Oscar Gajardo/Miraflores).
- Estadio municipal: Se solicitó informe a DOM sobre reparaciones necesarias; hay 16 millones disponibles para luminarias.
- Proyecto resaltos (lomos de toro): Contrato anterior terminado; se relicitará.
- Ambulancia: No queda claro en la transcripción el monto exacto de los 5 millones adicionales incorporados en la modificación.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Ambulancia 4x4: Concejales cuestionaron si la especificación de tracción 4x4 es necesaria y si los 100 millones alcanzarán, dado que los costos de mantención de vehículos con esa tracción son mayores.
- Proyecto de acuerdo N°20 (art. 45): Rechazado porque existía una propuesta distinta discutida en comisión; el concejo acordó votar la versión correcta la próxima semana.
- Seguridad pública: Debate extenso sobre dotación insuficiente de carabineros, consumo de drogas en eventos, violencia intrafamiliar y necesidad de ampliar horario de patrullaje nocturno.
- Nueva ley de seguridad municipal: Publicada el mismo día de la sesión; el consejal Manuel González leyó el artículo que obliga a concejales, directivos y al alcalde a someterse a exámenes de drogas. Concejal Daniela Díaz anunció que presentará un proyecto de acuerdo para que el cuerpo colegiado y directivos se realicen el test de pelo. El alcalde no objetó.
- Amenazas a concejales: Dos concejales (Bastián Palominos y Daniela Díaz) manifestaron haber recibido advertencias de vecinos sobre posibles agresiones en la fiesta de la UMA, vinculadas al rechazo del convenio con PRODEZAL. El alcalde afirmó desconocer dichas amenazas y aseguró que los usuarios del convenio no están interesados en represalias.
- Perro que mordió a una niña: Concejala Díaz consultó por el procedimiento del municipio ante un perro abandonado que mordió a una menor en Los Moscosos; el alcalde señaló que fue adoptado, pero no queda claro en la transcripción si esto ocurrió antes o después del incidente.

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.

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 10 students registered for the PAES — far too few: this comuna’s average is unreliable.

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).

Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.
Air quality observed at MMA's SINCA stations within the comuna (2020); when there are several, the worst is shown. The scale compares the annual average with the WHO 2021 guideline (PM2.5 = 5 · PM10 = 15 µg/m³, international health reference) and the Chilean annual primary standard (PM2.5 = 20 · PM10 = 50 µg/m³): green within the WHO guideline, amber between guideline and standard, red above the national standard. "Days above standard" use the 24-h daily standard (PM2.5 = 50 · PM10 = 150 µg/m³). RETC emissions = declared point sources (industry/energy), excludes diffuse sources like residential firewood.
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. 3 projects totaling US$ 30 million, approved between 2017 and 2026. 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.

Green areasSource: SINIM · SUBDERE (2025)

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.

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.
