The statistical methods commonly used in Spain to detect urban vulnerability encourage some vulnerable areas to go unperceived. Those involved in the territories to ensure equality among the population are guided by these dimensions, so they need a certain method. With the purpose of visualizing this lack of reliability are exposed setbacks that can induce and analyzes the estimated of greatest importance, that is the discretion of the methodologies identifying, by relying on different authors to methods and different indicators and get uneven results. Taking the city of Valladolid as a bank of tests have been applied six procedures relevant and replicable of identification, which shed mixed results. In view of this lack of reliability is questioned the relevance of only use statistical methods to detect urban vulnerability and reflects on alternative methods.

Keywords : Urban vulnerability; unnoticed vulnerability; quality of life; social inequality; statistical analysis.
