This article’s main objective is to show how the socioeconomic strata have been formed and how they are distributed in the city of Aguascalientes by comparing information from the years 1990, 2000 and 2010. It is based on the hypothesis that during this period there is a trend towards social and spatial inequality that manifests itself in a greater segregation of the socioeconomic strata in the territory of the city. A methodology focused on the characteristics of the dwellings is used and a spatial analysis is carried out on two demographic-territorial scales: basic geostatistical areas (AGEB) and urban blocks. For this, the article aims to operationalize the concept of the social division of space through the statistical technique of cluster analysis to obtain six social strata. Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of social space is retaken, based on the different forms acquired and transformed by the different types of people’s capital, which generates a class model. The georeferencing of the strata through maps allows us to identify their spatial distribution in the city during the years of study and thus observe the trend of a greater social and physical separation in the city of Aguascalientes.

Palabras llave : Aguascalientes city; spatial social stratification; multivariate analysis; social division of space.
