The article is devoted to the study of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in several regions of the Northwestern Federal District: the Vologda, Murmansk, Kaliningrad, Novgorod regions and the Republic of Karelia. The unevenness and dynamics of the development of socio-cultural subsystems of these regions are considered based on official statistics using the author's methodology. The socio-cultural characteristics of the population, in particular, the territorial identity, attitude to the place of residence, confidence in the future, migration attitudes, value field and basic interests are analyzed using the current empirical database of opinion polls, conducted in 2016 and 2017. Comparative analysis, which allowed identifying similar and distinctive features of the population in different regions, was used as a research method. The features of the Kaliningrad and Murmansk regions and the Republic of Karelia, which are conditioned by their border position, became especially evident. The findings of the general and distinctive features of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in the studied regions can contribute to improving the effectiveness of socio-economic and migration policies in the development of measures aimed at preserving and enhancing human capital.
