Strata

Would someone explain strata in detail. I understand strata 1 would be the poorest.
Is Strata 6 the highest. What would income be for strata 1 compared to strata 6?
Thanks

Just giving my 2 cents, gringoinbogota is correct except for the assertion that "the smaller the cheaper"; that is not necessarily true.

For more information on estratos visit the national statistics agency at:
http://www.dane.gov.co/inf_est/estratificacion/preguntas.htm

For a city-by-city chart go to:
http://www.dane.gov.co/inf_est/ipc.htm

and click on "Variación anual (12 meses) del Índice de precios al consumidor (IPC) según ciudades 2001 - 2004"
