People living in monetary poverty in Colombia; million persons, 2024 and 2025.
The number of Colombians in monetary poverty fell from 16,237,635 in 2024 to 14,446,726 in 2025. Both counts come from DANE’s national monetary-poverty releases. The annual decrease was 1,790,909 people, equal to 11.0% of the 2024 count. A change in the count reflects both the poverty rate and the size of the underlying population.
