Plata y obras

Puntos de debate o controversia
- Recorte presupuestario en salud: La consejala Gloria Rodríguez alertó que un recorte del 2,5% al presupuesto del Ministerio de Salud amenaza 24 programas sociales, el abastecimiento de insumos en consultorios y el acceso a medicamentos para adultos mayores y pacientes crónicos. El alcalde confirmó que algunos programas comunales ya fueron eliminados o reducidos.
- Empresa SK SPA adjudicataria reiterada: El consejal Arabena señaló que esta empresa se habría adjudicado alrededor de 12 licitaciones municipales y anunció solicitud de información formal y posible recurso a la Contraloría. Otros consejales y el equipo técnico respondieron que el proceso sigue las instrucciones del Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia y que todos los contratos están recepcionados sin observaciones.
- Voto político del alcalde: El consejal Arabena se abstuvo argumentando que el concejo carece de competencia legal para este tipo de pronunciamientos; el alcalde refutó citando un precedente de 2022 en que el mismo consejal sí participó en una votación similar.
- Honorario externo vs. capacidad interna: El consejal Arabena cuestionó si las funciones del contador auditor no podrían ser asumidas por funcionarios municipales; la consejala Rodríguez argumentó que la disponibilidad de tiempo del equipo interno justifica la contratación.

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 595 students registered for the PAES.

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.
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. 15 projects totaling US$ 383 million, approved between 1996 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.

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.
