Popis: The present article aims to analyze the study of homogeneity and polarization phenomena associated with urban segregation in six Chilean intermediate cities: Iquique - Alto Hospicio, Antofagasta, La Serena - Coquimbo, Rancagua - Machalí, Talca and Temuco - Padre Las Casas. Methodologically, the case study will be approached through the comparison between the cartographic representation of traditional urban segregation (predominant socioeconomic groups) and a proposal of representation of socioeconomic homogeneity based on the standard deviation between the percentages of each group. Among the cross-sectional results of the research, the presence of: 1) socio-economic heterogeneity in urban centers mainly through groups C2 and C3, with presence of ABC1 and D in some particular cases; 2) social homogeneity in urban peripheries, highlighting groups ABC1 and C3 and; 3) location of low socio-economic groups in areas whose geographical barriers limit their access to centrality.
