The concept of marginalization allows knowing the "assets" or tools whose access determines the ability to move out of poverty. In this article an attempt is made to verify whether in a rural area the distance to the nearest urban center and the population density are "assets" that determine poverty. A descriptive analysis shows how poverty in the communities farthest removed from the nearest urban center and less dense is almost 30 points greater than overall rural poverty and 40 points greater than that of the provincial total. Quantitative analysis through regression models shows how both the distance to the city and the population density are significant and explanatory of poverty. The study was carried out in the communities of the province of Pichincha, Ecuador.Keywords: marginalization; assets; chronic poverty; Ecuador.OLARTE, Susana Herrero.
