Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is a spatial analysis of changes in the standard of living of the poviats of the Lesser Poland voivodeship. During the study, the synthetic measure has been used which is based on 2011-2017 data. Finally with TOPSIS method the rankings of poviats has been created. It is shown that Krakow and its closest neighborhoods citizens enjoy the highest standard of living. The changes in synthetic measure are rather slow. Coefficient of variation suggests that the spatial diversity of standard of living in Lesser Poland is decreasing.
