Cusco-stats
The 116 districts of Cusco, in data.
Canon transfers, municipal budgets, schools, households, poverty and public services, harmonized from official statistics into one consistent district-by-year dataset.

Cusco is my hometown. Official statistics about its districts exist, but they are scattered across many tables, change definitions over time and rarely line up from one year to the next. I built Cusco-stats to bring them together in one place, harmonized so that districts can be compared with each other and over time, and to share them with anyone curious about the region.
Start with the story
Six short charts on how canon windfalls, municipal budgets, schools and households in Cusco have changed since the 2000s, each with links that open the data behind it.
Explore any district
Indicators for the department, its 13 provinces and 116 districts. Compare up to six places, switch between totals, values per person and constant 2024 soles, and map the districts year by year.
Take the data with you
Every explorer view can be shared as a link, and the places in its chart downloaded as a CSV file. The code and the full harmonized dataset are open on GitHub.
Data and sources
The figures come from the Regional Information System for Decision Making (SIRTOD) of INEI, Peru's national statistics institute, which compiles official series from INEI itself, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Education and other public agencies.
Harmonizing them involved a few choices that matter for interpretation: population projections from the 2007 and 2017 censuses are spliced into one series, provincial and departmental figures are shown only when enough districts report, and money in constant soles is deflated with the Cusco city consumer price index. All of this is documented, step by step, in Methods & data.
