Abstract:
This article analyses the characteristics of the residential segregation in Neuquén, an intermediate city of Argentina whose population grew between 1960 and 1991. It is assumed that segregation reflects the social structure, and it represents the base where differences settle, reproduce and worsen. In heuristics terms, the study is quantitative. It uses three thousand marriage records extracted from the Registrar Office of Neuquén and other documents, such as electoral registers and birth certificates.
