Abstract: Abstract The challenge of urban poverty is a far-reaching social and economic obstacle that persists as cities progress worldwide. In China, the swift pace of urbanization and the continued advance of socialist development have elevated urban poverty to a central focus for scholars in diverse fields. To investigate the dispersion of low-income residents in Chongqing Municipality, this study draws on multidimensional and spatial poverty theories. It employs SPSS 27.0 for correlation and regression analysis to pinpoint indicators influencing poverty distribution. These include altitude, terrain variation, overall water resources, bus route availability, the proportion of young and middle-aged individuals in the population, per capita disposable income, and average years of education for those aged 15 and above. Additionally, ArcGIS software is utilized for visualizing spatial data and generating thematic maps to analyze poverty distribution in Chongqing. By outlining the specific characteristics of this spatial pattern and exploring the contributing factors, the study identifies key insights. Ultimately, it proposes tailored recommendations in alignment with current poverty alleviation policies in Chongqing Municipality.
