Likewise, a compilation and analysis of secondary information was carried out to determine the influence of the socioeconomic changes on the development of this town; thus, among the results obtained, the greatest socioeconomic change identified was the substitution of primary activities for secondary activities (creation of companies). On the other hand, the geographic changes caused by the earthquake (Patate River changed its flow) led the population to resettle in what is now known as Pelileo Nuevo.
