This analysis explores the relationship between two key variables: housing prices and the percentage of votes received by each mayor candidate in the 2023 Quito City Council elections. The study reveals a clear correlation between political orientation and housing prices, with left-leaning candidates performing better in lower-priced areas, while right-leaning candidates received stronger support in higher-priced neighborhoods. The findings are visually represented through a series of maps, illustrating the distribution of votes for each candidate alongside housing price data, offering insights into how socio-economic factors influence voting patterns across the city.
