The main benefit is the lesser known application methods in relation to the topic used in quantifying Gatev´s coefficient of dissimilarity of structures of selected indicators of living standards. The aim of this contribution was to show the possibility of using methods for measuring the similarity of structures, as well as application possibilities correspondent analysis for measuring regional disparities, which are reflected in varying levels of cash income and differentiated structures of net cash expenditure of households.
