No cities meet the exact criteria for a “Poorest Cities in Guatemala.”
Understand that Guatemala reports poverty mainly at the municipal and departmental level. Demand for a neat ranking of “cities” collides with how statistics are collected. Use the municipal poverty tables from INE and multilateral reports instead of a city-only list.
Understand why the query returns no direct list. Guatemala’s official units are municipalities, not always distinct “cities.” Many areas with the highest poverty are rural towns, hamlets, and entire municipalities rather than urban centers. Different sources also use different poverty measures (poverty rate, extreme poverty, consumption vs. income), different years, and different sample methods. These differences stop a clean, up-to-date list titled “Poorest Cities in Guatemala” from existing.
Check close alternatives. Look for “poorest municipalities” or “poorest departments” in INE, World Bank, and UNDP data. Near matches often cited in municipal-level data include Ixcán (El Quiché), Nebaj (Quiché), Todos Santos Cuchumatán (Huehuetenango), and other communities in Alta Verapaz, Quiché, Huehuetenango, and San Marcos. Investigate municipal poverty tables, department rankings, or poverty maps for accurate, citable results.
Explore those municipal and departmental lists, maps, and recent surveys next. They give the verified, sourceable rankings researchers and journalists need.
