Evidence snapshot for Lima
Lima Cómo Vamos is a citizen data observatory that has surveyed roughly 2,000 residents of Metropolitan Lima annually since 2010 to track urban quality of life. Between 2010 and 2019, satisfaction declined across nearly all measured dimensions—air-quality satisfaction fell 6.5 percentage points and green-space satisfaction roughly halved—with residents in lower socioeconomic brackets experiencing steeper declines than higher-income residents. The most recent survey (15th edition) found 87% of respondents dissatisfied with citizen security, compared to only 4.1% satisfied. The evidence does not quantify causal drivers of these declines or assess interventions to reverse them.
