摘要

While poverty and income inequality in Brazil's Northeastern region has declined in recent decades, it still has the worst social indicators in comparison to other areas of the country. Another relevant aspect is the presence of a strong heterogeneity of standards within the region. In this study we analyze the spatial distribution of socio-economic indicators of municipalities in Northeastern Brazil for the years 2000 and 2010. The focus was placed on issues related to poverty, income, housing and health. The technique of exploratory spatial data analysis was used to conduct the research. Among the results, there are two highlights: On the one hand there is a vast social disparity between the geographic areas of the region. On the other hand, there is a spatial association of the socio-economic indicators of the municipalities in Northeastern Brazil.
