Sesiones
En una línea: El concejo aprobó la distribución de $281 millones en fondos concursables vecinales 2026 y una modificación presupuestaria para traspasar el bono de aseo a trabajadores del sector, en medio de un tenso cruce entre el alcalde y un concejal por una condena judicial por injurias.
Temas tratados
- Fondos concursables 2026: presentación y votación de resultados del FONDEVE, Fondo Ñuñoa Más Segura y Fondo Ñuñoa Corazón de Barrio, a cargo de Tomás Fuentes (director de DIDECO).
- Modificación presupuestaria N°7: reconocimiento de ingreso desde SUBDERE y habilitación del gasto para el bono de aseo a trabajadores de empresas concesionarias de recolección de residuos.
Acuerdos y votaciones
- Fondos concursables 2026: aprobados por mayoría, con una abstención (consejala Alejandra Valle, quien expresó dudas sobre el proceso de admisibilidad).
- Modificación presupuestaria N°7: aprobada por unanimidad.
Plata y obras
- Fondos concursables: $281 millones adjudicados a 110 proyectos (↑12,5% en monto y ↑12,3% en proyectos respecto a 2025). Más de 5.000 personas beneficiadas. Desglose: FONDEVE ~$91,9 millones (32 proyectos); Ñuñoa Más Segura ~$77,4 millones (32 proyectos); Corazón de Barrio ~$111,9 millones (56 proyectos).
- Bono de aseo: $251.104.224 transferidos desde SUBDERE vía modificación presupuestaria N°7; la municipalidad los traspasará a las empresas concesionarias en un plazo máximo de 30 días para pago mensual a sus trabajadores.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- La consejala del Río y el consejal Benavides observaron que este año postularon 196 organizaciones versus ~300 en 2025, y que proyectos de organizaciones pequeñas quedaron fuera de Corazón de Barrio por criterios de alcance que favorecen a quienes postulan colectivamente o con mayor número de beneficiarios.
- La consejala de Cubier planteó que las copropiedades quedan estructuralmente excluidas al depender del patrocinio voluntario de juntas de vecinos.
- Un concejal cuyo nombre no queda claro en la transcripción aludió en sesión a un juicio por injurias donde fue condenado en primera instancia a 81 días de presidio. El alcalde respondió extensamente rebatiendo su interpretación del fallo y advirtiendo que podría configurar nuevas injurias.
Para seguir
- Copropiedades: la consejala Chávez anunció trabajo conjunto con secretaría de copropiedades, gobierno regional y diputaciones para corregir los vacíos legales que las excluyen.
- Bono de aseo: transferencia a empresas concesionarias debe completarse dentro de 30 días.
- Se informó al cierre que Jorge Andrés Barría asume como nuevo director jurídico municipal (nombre según transcripción automática, verificar).

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 3.847 students registered for the PAES.

Foreign-born populationSource: 2024 Census · INE

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).

Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.
Zone with decontamination plan PPDA Region Metropolitana de Santiago · critical pollutant MP2.5 / MP10 / O3
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.
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. 61 projects totaling US$ 3.624 million, approved between 1998 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.
