摘要：The basic information for computing the quantitative statistical indicators, that characterize the demand of industrial products and services are collected by the national statistics organizations, through a series of statistical surveys (most of them periodical and partial). The source of data we used in the present paper is an statistical investigation organized by the National Institute of Statistics, “Family budgets survey” – that allows to collect information regarding the households composition, income, expenditure, consumption and other aspects of population living standard. In 2006, in Romania, a person spent monthly 23% for purchasing the consumed food products and beverages, 21,6% - was spent for purchasing non-food goods and 18,1% - for payment of different services. There is a discrepancy between the different development regions in Romania, regarding total households expenditure composition. For this reason, in the present paper we applied statistical methods for ranking the various development regions in Romania, using the share of households expenditure on categories of products and services – as ranking criteria.
