- Abstract
- The communes may have urban, rural or mixed characteristics. In the territory of a commune there may be more than one urban center, be it a city (more than 5,000 inhabitants), a town (between 2,001 to 5,000 inhabitants), or other entities or forms of human settlement with rural characteristics. Its administration is the responsibility of the municipality, represented by the figure of the Mayor. To facilitate the survey, the National Statistics Institute divides the communes into census districts. As of 2016, there are 346 communes in the national territory, which are grouped into 54 provinces. [Las comunas pueden presentan características urbanas, rurales o mixtas.

Su administración depende de la Municipalidad, representada por la figura del Alcalde.Para facilitar el levantamiento de encuestas, el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas divide las comunas en distritos censales.Al año 2016, existen 346 comunas en el territorio nacional, las cuales se agrupan en 54 provincias.]

- Data are licensed to Princeton University-affiliated persons only. For the National Institute of Statistics, the cartographic base used for the 2016 survey does not contain official information until the integration, validation and updating of the bases and limits is made. Therefore, 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 character of preliminary cartography. For the precensus, the survey is executed to all the communes of the country. This database contains 345 communes, since by geographic position the commune of Antarctica is excluded. [Para el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas la base cartográfica utilizada para el levantamiento del año 2016 no contiene información oficial hasta que se realice la integración, validación y actualización de bases y límites.

Para el Precenso, se ejecuta el levantamiento a todas las comunas del país. Esta base de datos contiene 345 comunas, ya que por posición geográfica la comuna de la Antártica está excluida.]
