Active Business Registrations by Economic Activity and Municipality

Colombian data from the Valledupar Chamber of Commerce details active business registrations. It categorizes merchants by detailed economic activity codes (CIIU) and municipality. The dataset was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of business types across municipalities using the ACTIVIDAD ECONÓMICA Y CIIU DETALLADO and municipality columns.
• Compare the total number of registered businesses in specific towns like VALLEDUPAR, BOSCONIA, and AGUSTIN CODAZZI.
• Map the concentration of economic activities at a municipal level by joining the CIIU detail with location columns.
• Assess the formal business density in smaller municipalities such as LA PAZ, EL COPEY, and PUEBLO BELLO.

Strengths

• Data is structured with a clear breakdown by municipality and detailed economic activity.
• Includes a Total general column for aggregate counts.

Limitations

• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of dataset size.
• The geographic scope appears limited to municipalities within the Cesar department, introducing regional bias.
