Importance This paper presents the estimation of economic development of municipal districts of the Orel oblast in 2015. As well, the article offers certain recommendations aimed to eliminate the social and economic disproportions in the regions' development.
Objectives The paper aims to calculate the values of indicators, which impact the development level of the municipalities. We also reveal the problems that interfere with the development sustainability of the Orel oblast, in general, and its areas, in particular.
Methods We use the non-parametric methods of statistics, correlation, factor, and cluster analyses, applying the EViews, STATISTICA, and SPSS statistical software.
Results The methods of multidimensional estimation and cluster analysis allowed us to group the municipal districts of the Orel oblast by level of their socio-economic development in 2015 and assess each particular district.
Conclusions More than half of the districts of the Orel oblast (63–67 percent) have low productivity, which leads to a decline of the number of enterprises. Besides, there is a serious demographic problem connected with the low life quality and high degree of people's dissatisfaction.

Keywords: district, Orel oblast, level of economic development, multivariate estimate, cluster analysis
