The purpose of the work is to carry out a comparative analysis of the location of the regions, to determine the location and status of each border region, to identify the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with the similar position and problem situations. The present work solved the problem of multidimensional data classification using the grouping method and cluster analysis. We conducted a comparative analysis of the regions using three criteria: social, economic and territorial. The following indicators were used: for the social criterion – the ratio of average per capita income to the subsistence level; for economic – the level of real fiscal security; for territorial – population density (people/km 2 ). The method of cluster analysis was applied, and a dendrogram was constructed for the border regions of Southern Siberia in order to present the data in a visual form. Determining the status of a region according to three criteria gives an advantage over the traditional types of ranking and groupings from viewpoint of the objectivity of determining the rating position of a region, analysis of current social-economic problems.
