Housing Census in Palermo and Belgrano

The neighborhood of Palermo is one of the most populated of the City of Buenos Aires. For many decades, many citizens have chosen to live in Palermo, and this has caused the continuous growth of the neighborhood. Moreover, during the last few years, due to the popularity that the construction business had, the number of houses in Palermo has raised even more. According to a report made by the “Ministerio de Desarrollo Urbano" [Department of Urban Development] in the City of Buenos Aires, there are 5 neighborhoods that sum 43% of the total of constructed houses in the last decade. Palermo is one of these neighborhoods, and it has 13,6% of the total. According to the census done in 2010, the number of houses in the neighborhood of Palermo sums 141.377. If you compare this number to the one resulted in 2001 Census (94.467), the number of houses in Palermo has increased 46.910 in ten years.

One of the aspects of this increase in the number of houses in Palermo is that it has appreciated some areas of the neighborhood that didn't use to be popular.

Another neighborhood that has grown a lot in the number of constructed houses is Belgrano. Belgrano has increased a 6,7% in the last decade, which means a lot if we compare its size with Palermo's.

For many years, many companies have decided to set in Belgrano and Núñez, which has helped the neighborhood grow. Moreover, many people have decided to move into the northern region of the City of Buenos Aires, and Belgrano is one of them. Likewise, many who work in the "Zona Norte" of Buenos Aires chooses Belgrano as its residence neighborhood, because it is within the city, but near work and it has also easy access to the downtown area of the city.

According to the 2010 Census, the number of houses in the Commune no 13 (which includes the neighborhoods of Belgrano, Núñez and Colegiales) has reached 129.745.

So, even though the construction activity has slowed down during the last months, there are still some constructions going on, which can increase the number of houses in the neighborhoods of Belgrano and Núñez.
