Abstract

Cancun is a tourist city where conditions of wealth and well-being coexist, together with poverty and exclusion. It belongs to the municipality of Benito Juárez, where there are three areas of irregular settlements. This paper analyzes, by means of spatial visualization tools, whether the social backwardness index can explain the differences in terms of risk of social exclusion of citizens living in irregular settlements. It is found that the northern and southeastern zones present conditions that put the population at risk of exclusion, while the southern zone has a lower risk of exclusion. The differences lie in the purchasing power and educational level of the population in this zone, which allows them to cope with these deficiencies.
