Colina, Chile

Capital City

With a population of 146,209, Colina is no quaint Chilean town - it's a bustling urban center with all the trappings. The average household income is a respectable $19,783, but the bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as the city is administered by a municipal council and regional governor. The population has swelled by 47.5% in the past decade, straining services. This isn't the quiet rural escape many imagine when moving to Chile - Colina is a fast-paced, growing city best suited for those who crave the convenience of urban amenities over the tranquility of the countryside.
