Abstract

The study is about territories rankings based on the application of statistical methodology for the purposes of characterizing the condition of territory (socio-economic, political, and ecological at a specific date and for the purposes of evaluation of changes of this condition over time. A proposed system of indicators allows building a comprehensive quantitative assessment (rating) of a particular territory. The author provides a generic algorithm for ranking. Also results of approbation of this algorithm on the example of the Russian Federation are shown. Scientific novelty and practical value of the research are reflected. The directions and challenges of the further development of research are presented.
