Abstract
The division of the Census District in urban areas, formed by a conglomerate of blocks. Its purpose is to facilitate the organization, control, and survey of the Census. In small towns, the map of the entire population center may be equivalent to a single census area. Census areas are recognized in the cartography because they present a code in which the first value is the number of the district to which it belongs, followed by the number of zone within that same district, in addition its numbering correlates with 1 to N within the district. [División del Distrito Censal en el área urbana, formada por un conglomerado de manzanas. Su finalidad es facilitar la organización, control y levantamiento del Censo. En los pueblos pequeños el plano del centro poblado completo podría equivaler a una sola zona censal. Las zonas censales se reconocen en la cartografía porque presentan un código en el que el primer valor es el número del distrito al que pertenece, seguido por el número de zona dentro de ese mismo distrito, además su numeración es correlativa de 1 a n dentro del distrito.]
Purpose
The Census Zone is the portion of territory that divides the urban census district as a whole, and also the urban part of the mixed districts. [La Zona Censal es la porción de territorio que divide al distrito censal urbano en su totalidad y también la parte urbana de los distritos mixtos.]

Data are licensed to Princeton University-affiliated persons only. The areas surveyed in the 2016 precensus are spatially related to the block, area, and district of the commune. In the end, the precensus survey must be validated or modified corresponding to this information. Therefore, it is a layer subject to update. It is hereby warned that use of these data is strictly the responsibility of the people who request it, who must adopt appropriate precautions and safeguards given its status as preliminary cartography. [Las áreas que se levantan en el Precenso 2016, están relacionadas espacialmente con la manzana, zona y distrito de la comuna. Al final el levantamiento precensal se debe validar o modificar, según corresponda esta información. Por lo tanto, es una capa sujeta a actualización. Se advierte que su uso es bajo estricta responsabilidad de las personas que lo solicitan, quienes deberán adoptar las precauciones y resguardos del caso, atendido su carácter de cartografía preliminar.]
