This article presents the territorial differences that exist in the state of Guerrero. Some conceptual and methodological guidelines presented by specialists trained in the Institute of Geography of the National Autonomous University of Mexico are retaken. The research is the result of consulting documentary sources and statistics, the most recent possible. In some cases, the lack of updated data was corrected with direct observation in the field. In the first part of the work are exposed fundamental cognitive contributions that have given pattern to expose the geographic-economic peculiarities of the Guerrero territory, in previous geographical investigations on the entity. Subsequently, the method of the Mean Index Value (VIM) is explained as a statistical procedure to comprehensively examine the behavior of the indicators that were selected, according to the frame of reference of this research. And it reveals a typology that classifies the jurisdictions of the state of Guerrero according to their socio-territorial particularities. In that order of ideas, one of the main findings gravitates around the fact that many of the Guerrero districts with socioeconomic conditions below the state average are not always associated with those marginal spaces and whose social difficulties have been a constant throughout the economic-productive history of the entity.
