| Résumé: | It is notoriously difficult to discern inequalities regarding mobility solely on the basis of the intensity, distance or duration of displacements, or even behaviors which, despite their similarities, do not necessarily reflect equality in the scope for maneuver available to individuals. Considering the distinctions between capital mobility opens the door to a more complex reality which reappraises the importance of social subjects, their careers and capabilities. The heuristic advantage lies in the possibility of comparing potential and effective mobility. This paper seeks to lend statistical reality to the notion of “capital of mobility” based on a quantitative survey undertaken in Santiago de Chile in 2009. The empirical assessment of this capital of mobility divided into several experimental proposals which are then compared with the demo-economic characteristics of the inhabitants and their location in the city. A demo-geographic approach is thereby proposed from a sociological concept.
