These five indicators can be considered as the top priorities according to the policy makers and they cover all the inequality domains.

With the use of a desktop GIS (ArcGIS) a selection of 2001 census variables was used to construct and map the five selected indicators. The spatial detail of the census data is determined by the boundaries of each census tract (“fracción censal”). They are established so that the population in each is approximately of 13,500 people, regardless of its geographic size. The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses from Argentina (INDEC) divides each census tract into 15 smaller units called “radio censal” with a population of approximately 900 people. These “radios censales” are built up from individual blocks (“manzanas”) but the data is not available to the public at that level of disaggregation.

Figure 1: Block groups ("radios censales")


As shown in Figure 1, tracts are formed of an average of 15 block groups (“radios censales”). There are 901 Blocks groups in Rosario with and average of 1015 People in each. The following are the resulting GIS-based indicators constructed at block group level. The best off areas are shown in white and the worst off areas in black. A spatial patterning of inequality can be found in the city of Rosario with a concentration of needs in certain areas (See Figures 2 and 3).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Liz, thank you very much for your references. I have found census blocks in this reference: http://allcountries.org/uscensus/glossary_c.html Census block A subdivision of a census tract (or, prior to 2000, a block numbering area), a block is the smallest geographic unit for which the Census Bureau tabulates 100-percent data. Many blocks correspond to individual city blocks bounded by streets, but blocks -- especially in rural areas - may include many square miles and may have some boundaries that are not streets. The Census Bureau established blocks covering the entire nation for the first time in 1990. Previous censuses back to 1940 had blocks established only for part of the nation. Over 8 million blocks are identified for Census 2000.
