Bolivia census: half of homes lack sewerage, 1 in 5 no bathroom

New census data reveals severe sanitation deficits in Bolivia: half of households lack sewerage and one in five lacks a bathroom, with Potosí worst for bathroom access and Beni/Pando lowest for sewerage. Over 769,000 homes rely on cesspools and nearly 300,000 on septic tanks, indicating widespread infrastructure gaps. This underscores chronic underinvestment in basic services, with implications for public health and development.
