What San Rafael is specialised in

2024 · SII

Of the 672 activities the tax register files firms under, San Rafael employs more people in 30 of them than Chile does, proportionally. That comparison is Balassa's revealed comparative advantage: this place's share of an activity, over the country's share of it. Above one, the activity is over-represented here.

30

activities it is specialised in

4,154

formal workers

274/296

by the complexity of what it is specialised in

Each dot is one activity. Filled, San Rafael is already specialised in it; hollow, it is not. Size is how many people work in it here.

Across: how much of what tends to sit beside that activity this place already does. Up: how few and how diversified the places that do it are. Two activities are counted as close when the places good at one tend also to be good at the other — that co-occurrence is the whole of it.

The corners are not labelled on purpose. Which one is worth being in depends on what a place wants and can afford, and neither is in the tax register. The dashed lines are this place's own medians; the axes are the same on every commune's page, so two of them can be laid side by side. The named ones are those whose name fits without covering another dot; the rest are a hover away.

The register files a firm at its tax address, so an activity can be over-represented here because the work happens here or because the head office does. Both are real facts about a place and they are not the same fact, and nothing in the register tells them apart: the communes where large firms keep their registered office carry activities that are physically elsewhere in Chile.

Revealed comparative advantage (Balassa, 1965) and the space of activities (Hidalgo, Klinger, Barabási and Hausmann, 2007), computed on formal employment because that is what a Chilean commune has. Built from the 500-worker activities and the communes above 1,000 formal workers; the floors are on /datos with everything else.

Pasturehover a tile for its count; click a group to open itFive families of land use, grouped by PuroChile from the fourteen categories the census publishes. The fifteenth tile is not a category: it is the censused surface less the fourteen.

The agricultural census measured 16,498 hectares of holdings in San Rafael in the 2020/2021 agricultural year, and this is how it divided them.

Fourteen of the fifteen tiles are categories the census publishes. The fifteenth is not: it is the censused surface less the other fourteen, and what it holds is scrub, barren ground, roads and buildings. Across Chile it is half of everything, because most of the censused surface is Patagonian scrub and northern desert inside very large holdings.

Irrigation is asked of eleven of the uses and not of forest, native woodland, natural pasture or untilled ground — so the 96.5% above is a share of the 8,643 hectares the question applies to, not of the whole.

Of the 227 holdings with land here, 25 are self-consumption plots — under two hectares and with nothing sold in the year. These counts are the census's own for this territory and they are not added to anything: a holding with land in two comunas is counted in both.

Health

See all →

The hospital figures come from DEIS's discharge register: one row per completed stay, in any establishment in the country, counted in the commune where the patient lives rather than where the hospital is. It counts stays, not people — someone admitted three times is three of them.

The deaths it records are the ones that happened during a stay. Deaths at home or in the street are in the vital statistics register, which is a different DEIS release and is not in PuroChile — so nothing here is this place's mortality, and every label says «hospitalaria» for that reason.

The two standardised ratios are the ones meant for comparing places: they hold San Rafael against what its own age and sex structure would produce at the country's rates, with Chile fixed at 100. A commune of older people buries more people than a commune of young families, and that is demography, not health.

In 2024, 7.5% of the country's discharges arrive with every identifying field replaced by an asterisk and cannot be attached to any commune; what is counted here is the 91.4% that carries one.

How this is computed

The four communes that most resemble San Rafael across the 28 figures PuroChile publishes for the 345 communes with complete data, grouped into seven dimensions of equal weight. This is not proximity: nothing in the computation knows where any commune is.

The figure beside each name is the distance between the two communes: 0 would be identical, and 1.48 is what separates any two communes in the country. Each bar is one of the seven dimensions, and reaches the end when the two differ on it by twice what two communes picked at random do. Location is not part of the computation: 52% of these pairings cross into another region.
