Abstract
The study of residential segregation by ethnicity in Latin America and Mexico is continuously related to socioeconomic and class variables; however, we have found robustness on data related to religion, birth rate, educational status, occupation, income, migration or feeding in the Population and Housing Censuses from 1990 to 2020. This research aims to broaden and diversify efforts to understand ethnic residential segregation in Mexico and its relation to socioeconomic and sociocultural indicators; therefore, the correlation between ethnicity and religion, educational status, occupation and migration was analyzed. The city of San Cristobal de Las Casas was chosen as a case study due to its characteristics of social and ethnic composition; residential segregation at the AGEB level was measured with data from the 2020 Population and Housing Census based on the calculation of dissimilarity index and Delta index. Finally, the results were correlated through the Pearson coefficient. The results point out that the ethnicity and religion variables have a stronger relation with each other; closely followed by the strength of the relation between variables of ethnicity and educational status. Therefore, the evidence indicates that residential segregation by ethnicity is more closely related to sociocultural residential segregation than to socioeconomic residential segregation.
