Abstract
It can be assumed that there is a certain relationship between the level of development of the production potential of a certain territory and the level of quality of life. To identify and confirm such a relationship, it is necessary, first of all, to have an array of comparable data and primary statistical indicators that can characterize the production potential and the quality of life. The research presents these indicators. Further, the question arises about the use of methods and techniques for processing these indicators to identify such a relationship. This process has a multi-stage character. In the first stage, to confirm the hypothesis about the relationship between production potential and quality of life, we use cluster analysis, although it was not originally intended for this. That is why the statistical indicators are taken for several heterogeneous regions of Russia within the Central Federal District. The use of cluster analysis on indicators of heterogeneous regions confirmed the hypothesis.
