Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an estimation of life standard diversity for residents of Polish voivodships in 2003–2013. The principal component analysis was applied for multidimensional functional data and the dendrite method was used for cluster analysis. These methods made it possible to isolate relatively homogeneous groups of voivodships that had similar values of characteristics under consideration, for the whole period at issue.
