Proximity to services is crucial to reduce social inequalities. Spatial coverage of schools/hospitals is estimated here, it is also analyzed if variations in the amount of service received are associated with the socioeconomic level of the neighborhoods. We start from the assumption that the geography of service is ineffective and inequitable. With calculation of buffers, zone statistics and linear regressions, it was found that the service of high schools and hospitals is centralized, but not the distribution of elementary/middle schools, in addition, disadvantaged groups receive less offer of services, but this is weakly related to the socioeconomic factor.
