The resulting dataset is available in RDS (for R), xlsx (for excel)
and csv formats:

This project aims to create a dataset combining census statistics and electoral results for the Province of Buenos Aires and the City of BA. These are the data sources combined:
- 2010 census statistics
- 2019 PASO presidential election
- 2015 PASO presidential election
- 2015 presidential election
Data is aggregated at “circuito”, the lowest level at which electoral results are available. In Argentina, census and electoral geography are independent so I had to create a lookup file for correspondences between census tracks and electoral “circuitos”. I did this by computing the area intersected between both sets of boundaries.
The dataset contains relative estimates of some relevant census variables and electoral results. These are the variables (names are in Spanish):
|
