In the 21st century, one of the indicators of urban development is the issue of low urban poverty. One of the components of urban poverty is educational poverty. This study showed that educational poverty has a cluster distribution and spatial autocorrelation in the Ardabil. However, the imbalance of spatial space between neighborhoods in this component has caused the disruption of spatial order and the growth of urban spiral in some parts of Ardabil and the marginalization of many other areas of the city. Relatively the southern and southwestern part of the city It includes very prosperous and prosperous blocks and poor and very poor blocks in terms of educational poverty are seen in the northwest and southeast. Hot spots include new settlements that were built after 1370 in Ardabil.
