Barranquilla is one of the most divided cities I ever seen as far as economic status.
The North is more expensive, has malls, restaurants, banks, etc and richer neighborhoods.
The Center is commercial, a lot of street shopping, not high end.
The South is where a lot of industrial businesses are located, smaller stores, and poorer neighborhoods.
The price they have for a 1 bedroom apartment $750,000 COP is for an apartment in the north. You can find one in the south for half that price. And the price of utilities varies greatly depending on if you're in the north or south.
The meal for 2 people at $50,000 is also equivalent to two personal size pizzas.
You can find a meal for $5,000 in the South.
The average monthly salary about right however that is AFTER they take out for health insurance.
