Summary/Abstract: On the national scale, the most characteristic manifestation of the diversification of socio-economic development is the division into the more economically developed western part and the less developed so-called “east wall”. In the scale of the voivodship, economic diversification does not have to assume the aforementioned geographic character. The paper presents a multidimensional analysis of socio-economic development of the Lower Silesian region at the level of NTS 4 (districts together with cities with districts rights) in the years 2014-2016. A set of variables was specified, defining particular aspects of socio-economic development. This allowed for the selection of districts with the best and worst socio- -economic situation, as well as districts characterized by a given similarity, which enabled the division of districts into classes of similar development level. In calculations the R program scripts and data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office were used.
