Communes of Buenos Aires

The city of Buenos Aires is administratively divided into fifteen comunas,^[1] unlike the Province of Buenos Aires, which is subdivided into partidos, or the rest of Argentina, in which the second-order administrative division is departamentos.^[2] Each comuna encompasses one or more neighbourhoods (barrios), which are represented in the respective community centres for administrative purposes.^[3]
