Abstract
This study analyzes the relationship between the territorial concentration of the Chinese immigrant population and their perception of health and well-being in Seville, a city in southern Europe, where this ethnic community has seen one of the fastest growth rates in recent times. An ethnographic design and a merging strategy by data transformation were adopted. The results show that there is a greater perception of good health and well-being among the Chinese population, who live mainly in neighborhoods with a high concentration of Chinese immigrants with a high socioeconomic status. However, this territorial concentration does not result in a lower perception of integration, affection or support from the host society. This apparent contradiction could be explained by the importance of relations with their fellow nationals at work as a key element in the socialization of the Chinese population.
