چکیده
In this paper, we analyze the correspondence among the rankings of the Spanish regions according to different measures of monetary poverty and quality of life, in 2012.

The monetary poverty measures aggregate the income gaps, while the quality of life measures aggregate a set of social indicators dealing with ten different domains. In both cases, among other traditional aggregation procedures, the exponential mean is used because its properties are especially adequate in these contexts.
