Puntos de debate o controversia
- Licitación de vehículos: Un concejal advirtió que es la segunda licitación con líneas desiertas y planteó que el presupuesto podría estar bajo de mercado.
- Prórroga aseo: El concejal Contreras cuestionó si el contrato estaba vigente al momento de la sesión, dado que venció el 6 de junio. El equipo jurídico aclaró que una extensión de 14 días (sin necesidad de pasar por concejo por su monto) mantiene la vigencia hasta el 20 de junio.
- Declaración ACHM: Los concejales Contreras y Valenzuela se opusieron a votar una declaración política en el concejo, argumentando que no corresponde legalmente y que hay temas vecinales más urgentes. La consejera Arreagada también cuestionó la procedencia legal de votarla. El director jurídico se reservó opinión para entregarla por escrito.
- Auditoría municipal: El concejal Rafael solicitó información sobre el estado de la auditoría. El alcalde informó que está terminada, pero su presentación se posterga porque el Director de Finanzas sufrió un accidente automovilístico y se espera su regreso.
- Fiscalización de buses del colegio María Inmaculada: Una concejala denunció que inspectores municipales multaron buses escolares. El alcalde aclaró que la instrucción vigente es no cursarles partes mientras se espera respuesta del Ministerio.

- Auditoría municipal: Se presentará cuando el Director de Finanzas retome funciones (estimado próxima semana).

- Buses colegio María Inmaculada: Pendiente respuesta formal del Ministerio para que el alcalde se reúna con la directora.

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 1.870 students registered for the PAES.

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).

MOP road networkSource: Dirección de Vialidad / MOP · 2026
Infrastructure under the authority of the Roads Directorate, not the municipality. Each segment's official length is allocated by its intersection with municipal boundaries; it is neither the entire street network nor a measure of municipal management.
Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
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 (2024); 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. 9 projects totaling US$ 253 million, approved between 2002 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.

Green areasSource: SINIM · SUBDERE (2025)
Municipally maintained green area per inhabitant (SINIM). The National Urban Development Council recommends a minimum of 10 m²/inhab (WHO, ~9). Self-reported by municipalities, with quality varying across comunas.

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)

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.
