Showing 10 of 83 tenures.
Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last half-year complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the province is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of people below the poverty line, half-year · INDEC, Permanent Household Survey (EPH), share of people below the poverty line in the city's urban area, each half-year · urban area data · as of Apr 2026.
