This work presents results from two studies that took place in 2006 in Mexicali and Tijuana, Baja California, México, where leisure and recreation were considered as dimensions of well-being, which is valued based on what the subjects that participated in a survey declare to be achievements in this matter. Data are analyzed with emphasis on leisure activities and their differences according to city and income level, and show that satisfaction of leisure needs is less achieved among those with the lowest income level, but has no significative differences when comparing urban and rural areas.
