Abstract: The analysis of the distribution of land ownership –and its social consequences– entails heuristic and methodological difficulties that usually limit the ability to establish sufficiently robust and systematic comparisons. This type of analysis is difficult to carry out from tax and cadastral statistics that show aggregate data and therefore offer greater territorial coverage. A more accurate approach is only possible by combining local surveys in different geographical areas, identifying both the inhabitants and landowners by referring simul-taneously to population and cadastral registers. This article aims to develop a methodological approach based on local case analysis in order to examine comparatively the level of social inequality in Catalan rural society in the mid-19th century.
