Abstract: Considering regional disparities that characterize Minas Gerais, it is becoming increasingly relevant to investigate the behavior of the poverty rate and the spatial distribution of poverty in municipal level. In this sense, the objective of this work is to investigate the spatial distribution of poverty in the state of Minas Gerais. For this, the instrumental of Spatial Econometrics was used to verify the presence of spatial autocorrelation. From Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis of the data it was possible to verify the presence of spatial dependence between the variables and the formation of poverty clusters. Through the regression estimated by the Space Lag Method, it was possible to ratify the presence of spatial dependence, confirmed by the relevance of the neighborhood poverty variable (spatial lag) in the model. Therefore, it is concluded that the poverty of a municipality is partly explained by the poverty of its neighboring municipalities.
