Creating ExposFacxy
1. Each of the four separate dimension-specific exposure scores at Datazone level was ranked and transformed to a normal distribution.
2. The four normalised rank variables were entered into a maximum likelihood factor analysis.
3. Weights derived from the factor analysis were used to combine the four normalised rank variables to form a single composite measure at Datazone level: ‘ExposFacxy’.
4. The 7,800 metropolitan Datazones were re-ranked on the ExposFacxy measure.

Summary of Exposure results
Exposure to socio-economic inequality is typically highest in the urban areas, particularly the metropolitan municipalities.
There are strong correlations at datazone level between the four separate dimension-specific measures of exposure (income, employment, education, living environment)
The composite ExposFacxy measure constructed across the 7,800 metropolitan datazones shows that exposure is typically highest in Tshwane and Cape Town, but that there is far more variation within Tshwane than within Cape Town.
The exposure results can be analysed at a detailed geographical level to explore variations within municipalities.

Neighbourhood ‘Intensity’ of exposure to socio-economic inequality
The exposure measures represent the likelihood of a given individual living in a given neighbourhood of being exposed to socio-economic inequality.
Typically, a geographical area with low poverty rates (e.g. Sandton) will be characterised by relatively high levels of exposure amongst the poor population.
But some neighbourhoods (e.g. Alexandra) have high poverty and high exposure to inequality.
In these areas, it may be argued there is a high community-level ‘intensity’ of exposure to inequality.

Summary of ‘Intensity’ results
‘Intensity’ can be regarded as a measure of the degree to which neighbourhoods are characterised by the twin stressors of high poverty and high exposure to socio-economic inequality.
High correlations exist between the four dimension-specific intensity measure, justifying the construction of an ‘IntensityFacxy’ composite measure.
Datazone neighbourhoods with very high levels of ‘intensity’ are found in all metropolitan municipalities.
All eight metro municipalities exhibit a wide range of datazone level intensity scores, i.e. heterogeneity.
![Page 35: Spatial measures of socio-economic inequality in South Africa Spatial exposure to inequality: Results David McLennan, University of Oxford Michael Noble,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0e5503460f94c22f58/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Conclusions
Spatial inequality measures – particularly the P* Exposure indices – offer a valuable contribution to the evidence base concerning inequality in South Africa.
They provide a means to examine geographical patterns in people’s lived experience of inequality.
They can be used as explanatory factors when analysing attitudinal data (as is the focus of the ESRC/NRF-funded project).
They can also be used to identify geographical areas characterised by both high levels of poverty and high levels of exposure to inequality, which may be most at risk of social unrest or high levels of crime (our ‘Safe and Inclusive Cities’ project).
