This article presents the results of a measurement of rural poverty in the state of Zacatecas, based upon a survey designed with that goal in mind. The data is from 2009, and the survey employed a multidimensional focus proposed by Coneval. The article is divided in to three parts: in the first, the concept of poverty is discussed; in the second, relevant data is presented on poverty and population at the national level and in Zacatecas; in the third, the results of the measurement of rural poverty in the state is analyzed. The article discusses the results of the study through a comparative analysis with national and state data. The goal of this work is to present poverty indicators for the rural areas of Zacatecas in a manner that identifies the causes of this poverty for each region; causes which are associated with the various dimensions of people's individual lives.
