Buenos Aires neighborhoods: find yours by your own criteria

Where the data comes from

• Residents, place of birth, age and education: 2022 Argentine census, National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC), by comuna. Born abroad includes people who have since become Argentine citizens.
• Apartment price: average asking price per m² of resale two-room apartments, Q4 2025, in US dollars. Rent: average asking rent of two-room apartments, Q2 2026, in pesos. Both from the Buenos Aires City Statistics and Census Institute; Comuna 8 has too few rental listings for an average.
• Pesos are converted to dollars at the rate of 19 October 2026: $1 = ARS 1,510.92.
• Robberies and thefts: robberies, thefts and homicides from the city Security Ministry crime map for 2025, per 1,000 residents of the 2022 census. Crimes are counted where they happen, so the center and the areas around the main rail stations score higher because of visitors.
• Armed robberies: robberies in which the attackers used a weapon, from the same crime map for 2025, per 1,000 residents. The family, retirement and quiet-and-green goals weigh them separately from other robberies and thefts.
• Noise and residents’ income are not part of the score: they are not counted by comuna. Hilliness is not scored either: the city is flat.
• Cafés, shops, schools, doctors, stations, parks, cycle lanes, distances: © OpenStreetMap contributors, extract of 18 October 2026.

Data as of October 2026.
