Usage
This dataset is used for:
Detailed SDG Analysis: Examine specific indicators that drive overall SDG performance
Policy Targeting: Identify specific areas of intervention (e.g., which health indicators need improvement)
Comparative Studies: Compare municipalities on specific metrics rather than aggregated indices
Correlation Analysis: Study relationships between specific variables across SDGs
Machine Learning: Use granular variables as features for predictive models

Notes
This dataset provides the granular indicators that compose the SDG indices
Some variables have missing values for certain municipalities due to data availability
Years of measurement vary by indicator (2012-2019)
