2.  17,000 foreigners live in Cuenca .. fewer than half of whom, 6,000, are from the U.S. or Canada.

3.  Reasons for population increases in Cuenca include many Ecuadorians returning home from other countries.

Somewhere on this forum I mentioned I had received some strange calls asking to confirm my name and cédula. The first time I picked up and I asked "why are you asking for my cédula number? and they promptly hung up. After that, I was blocking numbers.


Today there is an article about people being reluctant to give their cédula online for the census. I probably should look into what the fine or jail time is for non-compliance. Not paranoid, just indifferent to answering questions and giving my whereabouts when i'm domiciled in Cota.
