Comayagüela is found on the west bank of the Choluteca River, and most of its urbanization is made up of lower income neighborhoods.  Historically, Comayagüela has remained less developed than the other side of the capital, some citing insufficient contribution from public officials.  In recent years, this western side of the capital has seen some growth and improvement such as the opening of Metromall near the airport.  With the construction of Mall Premier and City Mall, the latter to become the largest mall in the country, Comayagüela will be receiving another upgrade.  There are an estimated 650,000 residents in Comayagüela contributing 58.3 percent of the 120 million lempiras (US$6.349 million) generated every day by commerce in the Central District.
