Summary/Abstract: By applying factor analysis to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of county districts (former communes), seven synthetic indicators of greater generality have been produced. The classification of the districts by the cluster analysis method came up with 22 microregions which well reflect the distinctions of economic and demographic development, as well as the national structure of the districts. The distribution follows in part the previous political division into associations of communes, but with greater consideration for differences among the districts.
