Summary/Abstract: The town of Bazargic (today Dobrich, in Bulgaria) was part of Romania from 1913 until 1940. This study aims to outline the standard of living in Bazargic, the capital of Caliacra County, in the 1930s, based on statistical data published by the Central Institute of Statistics between 1935 and 1940. The analysis considers the structure of the population and its natural movement, as well as the town’s social and urban infrastructure. At the same time, it examines the retail prices of consumer goods and the cost of living; by comparing these figures with those in Bucharest and other county capitals in Dobruja (Constanţa, Tulcea, Silistra), the study allows for a better evaluation of the standard of living in Bazargic relative to the urban realities of interwar Romania.
