Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to classify gminas of Ostrołęka-Siedlce subregion in terms of their financial condition. The research was conducted on the basis of data from the Local Data Bank for the years 2013—2016 concerning the state of finances in 84 gminas of the analysed subregion. The method of linear ordering was used. On the basis of the constructed synthetic development measure, four typological classes were distinguished. The first group consisted of gminas achieving the best financial results, whereas the fourth one included gminas with the weakest financial situation. The research indicates that the most numerous group consists of units with lower than average financial condition (the third class) — 55% of all local governments.
