Análisis según radios censales

Abstract

The scale of territorial analysis is crucial for the evaluation of the quality of life of the population from a geographical point of view. In this sense, the use of departments, parties or communes (525 units) has proved useful to overcome the generalization implied by studies at the provincial level in the case of Argentina (24 units). This chapter calculates the values of the 2010 quality of life index at the level of census tracts (52,408 units). The analysis shows that within larger geographical units, such as departments or districts, there are different degrees of fragmentation. These results must be taken into account in academic research and public policy formulation.
