In urban studies residential segregation has been linked in a very close way with social inequality, however, recent studies show the vast complexity of these relationships (Porcel, 2019), where case studies with a quantitative and qualitative methodology allow us to help us understand the incidence or absence of certain urban policies in the socio-spatial distribution of our cities._x000D_

Within these methodologies, the proposal of Andrés, Bellet and Cebrian (2023) with the residential Urban Segregation index and the so-called Urban Social Vulnerability Index, according to the proposal of Medina et al. (2019), stand out. Both were obtained through a principal component analysis to determine the social and economic particularities of each study unit._x000D_
In this paper, a case study of a medium-sized Spanish city, Ciudad Real, is presented in order to developed into the features that distinguish residential segregation and its socio-spatial differentiation, defining the extreme neighbourhoods, both those most closely linked to urban social vulnerability and those with the best socio-urban conditions. Based on a series of socio-economic indicators, the distribution and characteristics of these spaces are analysed, highlighting their particularities. The work concludes with the identification of some patterns in urban socio-spatial differentiation that can help us to understand the complexity of the systemic relationships that exist in our cities._x000D_
