In today´s world, the environmental protection measures should have addressed and territorially oriented nature. The environmental policies in the region, conducted by authorities should take into account both climatic and social problems of the inhabitants of a particular area. In the present work, we research to identify factors of anthropogenic impact that by the degree of influence on the socio-demographic characteristics of the population of Saratov region could form the basis of the grouping of areas for further relevant activities. On the basis of cluster analysis of a large group of indicators of public health and environmental impact on the average citizen of the municipal entities in 2012 we proposed classification factors responsible for the distribution of all the municipal districts of the Saratov region in three homogeneous groups, each of which has its own level of anthropogenic pressure associated with economic specification of the area. Each of the selected groups has its own peculiarities of the demographic situation and public health. Proposed measures for improvement the situation in the municipal districts of each cluster.
