Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was to analyse regional differentiation of level of life in rural areas at two levels of administrative division (voivodeships and poviats). The study used the concept of synthetic measure for hierarchical objects, developed by A. Młodak. This approach enabled the simultaneous evaluation of the phenomenon both at the level of hierarchical objects (voivodeships) and subobjects (poviats), while ensuring comparability of results for both levels of administrative division. The analysis showed substantial differences in level of life in rural areas, both between provinces and within them.
