Notes: Income is the median of monthly household monetary income (self-generated income plus government cash transfers) divided by the square root of household size, excluding live-in domestic workers and their family. The result is multiplied by 12 and divided by the "PPP for actual individual consumption" for 2011 (425.368652) to obtain annual income in International dollars.

The electoral roll includes all Chileans and foreigners (5-year residence) over the age of 18 on election day (28 October 2012) whose right to vote has not been suspended. The National Statistics Office provides population data estimated for June 30 of each year disaggregated by age.
