Inter-American Development Bank, 2016, Dataset of Housing Indicators in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico: 2000-2015, IDB Open Data, https://doi.org/10.60966/hkxjlii8

Currently, the Dataset of Housing Indicators includes data from four countries in Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, and is divided into national, metropolitan, and local levels. The data gathered attempts to provide answers to the following five main questions: i. Is housing affordable and financeable?, ii. Is housing adequate?, iii. Is housing connected?, iv. Is housing green and sustainable?, v. Is housing a secure asset? Data has been compiled from the top four global databases: the Housing Finance and Information Network (HOFINET); Global Housing Policy Indicators (GHPI) of Habitat for Humanity International; United Nations: Compendium of Housing Statistics (UNCHS); and the World Bank World Development Indicators (WB-WDI). Further, data from national census agencies has been included and the platform includes indicators obtained from specific surveys collected in areas where data is not available. Some indicators are calculated from metadata contained in other sources. Notes and sources are included for every data point which explains where the data is from and, if applicable, how it was calculated. The indicators are presented in a format that allows for comparison across the national, metropolitan, and local levels wherever possible. However, it is the responsibility of the user to determine if it is appropriate to compare. The dataset contains the most recent data available to the working group and its partners.
