Significant differences in the income of the population, the degree of inequality in different regions of the country are shown. The ratio of per capita income and subsistence minimum for quintile groups with the highest and lowest income level in the regions of the Russian Federation is calculated. The concentration of the poor population depending on the territory of residence of the population is determined. Conclusion. Income differentiation, the main cause of inequality, is common to all countries without exception. But a significant spread of income, depending on the social belonging of citizens, their level of education, location and region of residence, is an urgent problem for our country, because of the significant level of poverty. Thus, leveling the differences in income of the population is one of the main tasks of the state at the present time.
