| Sumario: | The study of socioeconomic residential segregation (SRS) is crucial for monitoring urban social inequalities. In this regard, this paper examines the evolution of SRS in Argentina between 1980 and 2022. A quantitative methodology is employed, based on the measurement of SRS using the Dissimilarity Index in 940 localities. The correlation between SRS and income inequality based on the Gini coefficient is also assessed. The results reveal a sustained and generalized decline in SRS across the country. Although fluctuations in income inequality have followed a more irregular trajectory, the correlation between the two phenomena has become progressively weaker over the course of the study period. This trend raises questions about the processes shaping the contemporary socio-spatial structure of cities, as well as about the advantages and limitations of using census data in capturing them. |
