description Abstract: One of the most salient characteristics of urban poverty and inequality in the City of Buenos Aires is the territorial segregation of poverty in informal settlements, the majority of which are concentrated in the city’s southern zone. The objective of this paper is to analyze the gaps in both income and multidimensional poverty between the formal and informal neighborhoods of the City of Buenos Aires. We measure multidimensional poverty based on the method proposed by Alkire and Foster (2011) and income poverty based on the official poverty lines and measurement methodology, with the purpose of presenting a more accurate description of the incidence and intensity of poverty in these two distinct areas of the city. The analysis is based on the city government’s 2016 Annual Household Survey, which is unique in that it collects data on a statistically representative sample of households living in the jurisdiction’s informal settlements.
