Ñuñoa is a commune of the Northeastern zone of Santiago, in the Santiago Metropolitan Region of Chile. According to the 2021 Urban Life Quality Index, it is considered the fourth best commune to live in the region and the country. The commune has undergone a significant population increase, from 163,511 inhabitants in 2002 to 208,237 in 2017, an increase of 27.3% in fifteen years, and an estimate in excess of 250,000 inhabitants in 2022. It is made up of medium and upper-middle socioeconomic groups. Recently, Ñuñoa's many charms and convenient location have led to an increase in desirability by young urban professionals to live there.
