The quality of the living environment of the population as an external, objective factor, determines the level of comfort, affects its quality, health, reproduction and decision-making on migration. The quality of the environment is of a potential nature, serving as a basis for the socio-economic development of the region; it has a comparative nature in its original content and assumes a comparison of the specific indicators in spatial terms. Given the significant contrasts in environment at the Russian Far East (RFE), even small changes in natural and climatic conditions are crucial for determining quality of life of the population. Differences of environmental: natural, demographic, economic and social quality – were studied for regions at the southern part of the RFE. Sociological survey of women of reproductive age (17-45 years old) within both urban in rural areas in the Nanai District of Khabarovsk Krai, and Smidovichsky District of the Jewish Autonomous Region, gives a whole picture of their self-assessment of ecological, social and economic environment. Disproportions in the development, the main issues specific to individual areas, and spatial behavior of the residents are analyzed. Social and economic divergences are reflected in subjective estimates of native and non-indigenous women of reproductive age.
