Why is ozone concentrated only in one part of the atmosphere?

Ozone is found where it is made. When it diffuses higher, the intense radiation that is blocked by the ozone layer, breaks the ozone down. When it diffuses lower, the water vapor there breaks the ozone down. And ozone is unstable, and breaks down in time, so it cannot get very far since it takes months to travel very far "up" or "down".
