Communes with the highest reported drug crimes incidence in Chile

Reported drug offence incidence per 100,000 inhabitants by commune. Covers the CEAD "Drogas" family — criminal offences under Ley 20.000 (trafficking, micro-trafficking and cultivation). Public drug or alcohol consumption is counted under the Disorder (Incivilidades) family, not here, so this figure understates total drug-related police activity. Figures represent police-recorded cases (casos policiales — complaints plus arrests in the act), not convictions. Source: CEAD — Ministry of Interior and Public Security, official police statistics.

Rates are police-recorded cases (casos policiales) per 100,000 residents per year, sourced from CEAD official police statistics. Communes with small or seasonal/touristic resident populations can show very high rates because the figure is divided by a small resident base.

The national average is the simple mean across communes for this crime family (communes ≥ 10,000 inhabitants, latest complete year).Methodology.
