FERNANDEZ, Tabaré; WILKIN, Andrés  and  BIRAMONTES, Tania. Informal, Surplus or Segregated Localities? Urban Heterogeneity in Uruguay According to the 1963 Census. Territ. [online]. 2022, n.46, e011.  Epub July 14, 2022. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.10333.

Based on the 1963 Census, cluster analysis is used to test three hypotheses that were proposed to explain the emergence of microlocalities in the early twentieth century in Uruguay: informality, rural surplus and urban segregation. The findings are only partially consistent with those. These localities would be significantly a phenomenon of state regulatory omission, although only a small proportion can be treated as a seat of the surplus rural population and at least one-third of the localities would be an expression of a new phenomenon at the time: urban segregation.

Keywords : Uruguay; census 1963; rural poverty; rural development; urban segregation.
