The use of this information has the advantage of permitting to observe welfare in areas not included in the Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH). This paper performs a comparative analysis on the evolution of poverty and inequality trends using both information sources, pointing out possible complementarities between them. More precisely, results suggest that both poverty and inequality are higher in areas not included in the household survey, despite these trends follows similar patterns compared to urban areas included in the EPH.
