Ozone is simply a molecule with two resonant forms. So I will assume the question is, "is the ozone layer homogeneous?" No and yes. The ozone layer varies in thickness latitudinally (equator to pole), and since insolation (Sun light) varies latitudinally also, the concentration of ozone varies both by latitude and local season. In general, the ozone at a given latitude and altitude is homogeneous due to jet stream (and dependent / derivative) currents. But concentration gradients can and do exist both latitudinally and altitudinally. Mass transport vertically and towards/away from the poles is very slow... much slower than the half-life of ozone in the air. And the ozone layer, like most of the rest of the atmosphere, is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and other trace gases, with about 9 ppm of ozone at the peak value.
