No results — there are no cities that meet the exact criteria for “Poorest Cities in Ecuador.”
The term “poorest cities” is ambiguous and creates an empty result when applied exactly. Ecuador’s official poverty statistics are reported by canton (municipality) and province, not by a standalone “city” label. Different ways to measure poverty — poverty rate, Unsatisfied Basic Needs (UBN), or per‑capita income — produce different rankings. Demand for a single, definitive list of “poorest cities” therefore finds no direct match in the official data structure.
Use canton‑level or province‑level data instead. The national statistics office (INEC) publishes poverty rates and UBN by canton and province for specific survey years. Because boundaries, population size, and the choice of indicator change results, a strict city‑level list does not exist in the official datasets. Near matches that do exist include lists of cantons with the highest poverty rates, provinces with the largest share of poor households, and tables of per‑capita income by municipality.
Explore related, available lists and maps. Look up INEC’s canton‑level poverty rates (specify the survey year), UBN by parish or canton, and province rankings by poverty or income. For practical use, build a top‑10 canton list, a full sortable table of cantons, or a map showing poverty rates — these alternatives give the clear, data‑driven view readers search for instead.
