Summary/Abstract: Availability and economic sustainability of social services are being discussed in relation to ageing of population and financing of social services. The aim of the article is to evaluate the volume of allocated expenditure on selected social-care services, accentuating similarities and differences in regions of the Czech Republic. By use of cluster analysis in years 2010 and 2017, expenditure per user is analysed in four social-care services for senior citizens and the disabled. Results of the cluster analysis confirmed both similarities and significant differences between Czech regions. The regions were divided into three and four clusters in years 2010 and 2017, respectively, based on similarity of expenditure per user of the evaluated services. In 2010, regions in the first and second clusters were more similar in expenditure allocated for personal assistance and day care. In 2017, regions in the second and third clusters were more similar in the volume of expenditure per user by expenditure allocated to day care, as well as regions in the third and fourth clusters by expenditure on personal assistance.
