Read the Inequalities in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico-City Using Real Estate Prices

The purpose of this article is to present different readings allowed by the cross- referencing of three sources of information on the housing market in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico-City: online sales and rental advertisements, ads in newspapers and ads in public space. On the one hand, at the level of the metropolis, it was possible to locate the online ads at the level of census spatial units and at the level of the different "types of settlement". On the other hand, the empirical approach allows a better understanding of housing real estate production and supply. First, it is possible to show the differences in visibility and readability of the city according to the channel of information on the real estate market. Second, the spatial variability of advertised prices reflects the tensions that run through the metropolis, at different geographical levels, and allows a reading of the socio-spatial division and the segmentation of the housing market, highlighting the reproduction of inequalities.
