## Notes

1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** An "urban entity" is defined by Chile's [National Statistics Institute](/source/National_Statistics_Institute_(Chile)) as a concentrated group of dwellings with over 2,000 inhabitants, or between 1,001 and 2,000 inhabitants if 50% or more of its population is economically active, dedicated to [secondary](/source/Secondary_sector_of_the_economy) and/or [tertiary](/source/Tertiary_sector_of_the_economy) activities. Exceptionally, populated centers dedicated to tourism and recreation with over 250 concentrated dwellings and that do not meet the population requirement are considered urban.

1. **[^](#cite_ref-callelarga_3-0)** Urban entity with less than 5,001 inhabitants, which is not part of a conurbation, yet still considered a city, possibly to account for census omission.
