No Venezuelan city meets the strict criteria for “Poorest Cities in Venezuela.”
Define “poorest” before ranking: do you mean highest poverty rate, lowest income per person, or smallest GDP per capita? Require city-level, recent, and comparable data for each place. This combination is rare. Therefore a verified, complete list of cities that meet all those strict rules does not exist.
Expect this result because Venezuela lacks consistent, public city-level poverty data. National and international sources (ENCOVI, INE, World Bank, UN) report poverty by household, state, or municipality at irregular intervals. Cities often overlap with municipalities or parishes, and rapid migration, currency change, and inflation make direct income comparisons unreliable. Use household poverty rates, extreme poverty, or access-to-services measures instead of a single “poorest city” number.
Look for close alternatives and useful sources. ENCOVI and some INE releases publish state and municipal poverty estimates you can rely on. Urban neighborhoods and parishes (for example, large informal areas in Caracas such as Petare) are commonly described in reports as highly disadvantaged. Check municipal or state rankings, ENCOVI poverty maps, and indicators like per-capita household income, extreme poverty rate, and access to utilities for meaningful comparisons.
Explore municipal- and state-level lists from ENCOVI, INE, and international reports (World Bank, UN) next — they provide the verified data and context readers want.
