Consequently, residential segregation has forward and backward linkages with disadvantage. However, there is also territorial concentration of the "well-off" population, and the degree of its "residential segregation" can be calculated. This concentration operates as a mechanism for reproducing wealth between generations, but it stands out for being the outcome of circumstances and decisions conducive to the socioeconomic homogenization of the areas where high-income groups live, either because residents of a lower socioeconomic level leave or because there are barriers to the arrival of individuals and families of lower socioeconomic level.
