As of 2024, an estimate of 7.93 million people lived in Bogotá — the capital of Colombia and most populated city in the country. With 2.62 million, Medellín ranked second that year in the list of largest Colombian cities. Cali, located at the southwest of the country, followed closely behind with nearly 2.3 million inhabitants.

This map was created using the method of all the experiments that provided the best outcome and the census blocks (L0) as source zones, as presented in Sapena et al.

The method use was the categorical dasymetric method with 3D VHR and land use data.

In 2023, domestic tourists accounted for more than 90 percent of the hotel guests in the downtown of Medellín, Colombia, while El Poblado had a share of domestic hotel guests of less than 34 percent. El Poblado was the neighborhood with the highest hotel price in the Colombian city.

In 2024, there were approximately 25.4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in the country, down from a homicide rate of 25.7 a year earlier. The homicide rate in Colombia has been stable since 2014 with the numbers varying between 24 and 26.8 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. Crime and corruption Approximately 31 percent of the population identifies corruption as the main problem of the country, with fraud emerging as the foremost committed corruption and economic felony in Colombia. Followed by instances where residents were either firsthand or indirectly encountered attempts to purchase electoral votes. These experiences stem from discontent with flawed democratic functioning, culminating with the country positioned among the Latin American nations most plagued by corruption. Moreover, Colombia's corruption index was 39, where 0 represents the worst corruption scenario. Notably, those entrusted with safeguarding public welfare—the police, congressional representatives, and presidential personnel—are implicated in these transgressions, thereby fostering a prevailing sense of insecurity among the population. Not an easy way out of drug trafficking Amidst the economic challenges stemming from an uneven distribution of wealth that predominantly favors merely one percent of the population, the youth demographic and individuals residing in rural areas are more inclined towards seeking a convenient route to monetary gains. This trend has the adverse consequence of resulting in land expropriation and engenders a state of insecurity for landowners, particularly concerning crop cultivation. The proliferation of narcotics has escalated significantly, prompting alarm within the government. These authorities have grappled with a persistent inability to curb the proliferation of this phenomenon. Notably, the cultivation and exportation of marijuana and cocaine stand out as the primary illegal undertaking, facilitated through international transport via land, aircraft, and maritime shipments.

The project examines the links between mobility, poverty reduction, social inclusion and urban integration. It seeks to learn systematically from a critical assessment of a set of interventions fostered by the local government of Medellín, Colombia's second largest city (population 3.5 million). Over the past decade the city's government has sought to upgrade and integrate into the city's fabric large areas marked for years by severe poverty and violence. A central component of such efforts is the introduction of two aerial cable-car lines (Metrocables) linked to the city's mass-transit (surface metro) system, thus substantially increasing accessibility for the local population while physically and symbolically integrating these previously no-go areas to the rest of the city. The speed and comparatively low cost of construction, and low levels of particulate emissions of aerial cable-cars, are part of their appeal in dense and hilly urban areas, to the extent that the system is being considered or implemented by local governments in Colombia and elsewhere. The research also seeks to examine the transferability of aerial cable-car technology to cities with similar topographic, institutional and socio-economic conditions in Latin America and elsewhere, including China.

As of 2018, over 122 thousand workers in Colombia opted for the option of working remotely. Bogotá was the city with the highest number of people who worked outside the office, with almost 64 thousand workers. Medellín came in second, with nearly 30 thousand. A recent survey revealed that Colombia is one of the Latin American countries with the highest adoption of home office practices.

Residents of Pereira reported the highest pet ownership among major Colombian cities, with 69 percent of respondents saying they owned a pet.

The Capital District of Bogotá welcomed more than 1.1 million international tourists in Colombia in 2023, while Antioquia – with Medellín as capital – received roughly 678 thousand foreign visitors arriving in the South American country that year.

Bogotá: the main travel hub in Colombia

With a population approximating eight million inhabitants, Bogotá is not only the capital of Colombia but also its most populated city. In addition to that, its geographic location —right in the middle of the country's territory— has also enabled this metropolis to become the most important crossing point for international and domestic travelers. Bogotá’s International Airport is by a wide margin, the main point of entry into the Latin American country, handling more than 1.5 million passengers each month in pre-pandemic times.

Cartagena: the most attractive destination of the Colombian Caribbean coast

With its Spanish colonial buildings of the walled city, the modern vibe of Boca Grande, and the colorful houses of Getsemaní, Cartagena attracts many international and domestic tourists each year. This Caribbean city is also Colombia's cruise tourism center, with more than 300 thousand passenger arrivals per year in pre-pandemic times. Consequently, Bolívar ranks among the departments with the largest number of accommodation establishments in Colombia, with nearly 4.5 thousand in total.

In 2022, HIV was found to be more prevalent among men than women from most age groups in Colombia. For both genders, HIV prevalence was higher among those aged between 25 and 49 years. Men from this age group had a prevalence of HIV of 0.9 cases per 100 inhabitants, while for women, HIV prevalence was 0.23 cases per 100 people in Colombia. Similarly, men had higher deaths rates due to HIV in the South American country.
