2024 Census reveals significant increase in the number of homes in the region - El Ovallino - Passion for Limarí
The 2024 Census reveals a profound demographic transformation in the Coquimbo Region, characterized by population aging, a reduction in household size, and an increase in social diversity. The aging trend is pronounced, with a significantly higher ratio of older adults to children, necessitating the adaptation of health and social assistance services. At the same time, both international and internal migration have driven population growth, introducing a young and diverse population that enriches the region’s social fabric. The inclusion of questions on gender identity for the first time stands out as a crucial methodological advance, making visible realities that were previously overlooked and enabling a more precise analysis of identity and equity. This, along with the increase in affiliation with indigenous peoples and improvements in years of schooling, reflects a more complex and diverse society that requires more inclusive and targeted public policies. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how the progressive and detailed release of census data allows for the analysis of complex social trends and guides evidence-based decision-making. Transparency in these data facilitates the design of more effective and equitable public policies, ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately according to the actual needs of a changing and diverse population, thereby promoting accountability and social inclusion through access to public information.
