Abstract | Changing patterns of urban development in Latin America have drawn increasing attention to
residential segregation, yet systematic quantitative analysis remains limited. Using data from the
Mexican census of 2000, this paper describes spatial patterns and levels of segregation by
ethnicity and socioeconomic status in over 100 cities. Findings confirm many recognized
patterns; low-income and informally employed households tend to live in peripheral areas of the
city, while high-income and formally employed households are more centrally concentrated.
High-income areas are more socioeconomically diverse and densely developed than low-income
areas. Indigenous people experience similar patterns of segregation at higher levels than do lowincome
households. The difference in levels of segregation by income in cities of different sizes
is statistically significant; larger cities are more segregated. Regional differences in patterns of
segregation are also statistically significant and large, demonstrating the importance of both
historical periods of urban development and levels of regional economic development. |
