Real estate

Real estate activities: sixty-two thousand firms and sixty-seven thousand workers — barely more than one person per firm, the lowest ratio in the register. It is the shape the register gives to an activity carried out mostly through companies that hold a property and employ no one.

Shaded by how much of each commune's own formal payroll this sector is — not by headcount, which would draw the same map of where people live for every sector.

Counted at the firm's registered address, not the workplace. SII assigns a company's whole payroll to the commune of its tax domicile, so a head office in Santiago carries the shifts worked everywhere else. Read this as where the sector files, and the count below as where its workers live.

Communes with at least 200 workers in the sector, so a village with one firm does not top the list.

What the branch is made of

2 divisions · 4 activities

A section of twenty-one parts says what this page is called. The register files firms two levels below it, and those parts are not one economy: actividades inmobiliarias realizadas con bienes propios o arrendados and actividades inmobiliarias realizadas a cambio de una retribución o por contrata share a letter and little else. Each division has a page of its own.

"Workers" is SII's count at the firm's registered address; "living here" is Casen's count of employees of this branch who live in the region. They are different measurements of different things and the columns are read side by side, not subtracted. A dash is a cell with fewer than 30 sampled workers.
