In order to do so, it analyzed the distribution andcomposition of municipal revenues and identified its evolution. The demand ofservices was evaluated on the basis of the population. Then, the degree of equilibriumwas analyzed through the calculation of revenues per-capita of each municipality.Finally, effectiveness of public services was assessed by means of the Social DevelopmentIndex (SDI) and an analysis of correlation between the revenues per-capita andSDI.
