Population rankings determine a region's position among the most populated territories. In this 94-row list, each entity is ranked by population size. The columns allow for comparing a region's position both nationwide and within its specific federal district. The data is presented as cross-sectional snapshots
Table showing the distribution of RF constituent entities by population size rankings among all entities and within federal districts
Rosstat data. Number of series: 94, number of indicators: 2. The breakdown is by the following positions: Central Federal District; Belgorod Oblast; Bryansk Oblast; Vladimir Oblast; Voronezh Oblast and others
The five largest values: Nenets Autonomous Okrug (85), Republic of Karelia (72), Kostroma Oblast (69), Oryol Oblast (63), Komi Republic (62). The gap between the largest and the smallest is 85 times. The top five account for 33% of the total for all positions
Rows correspond to individual constituent entities, ranging from oblasts to federal districts. Regions can be compared using two columns: the first shows the entity's rank among all territories in the country, while the second shows its position within its federal district. This helps identify whether a region is a major center within its area or holds a minor position on a national scale

How it is calculated
It is convenient to take ready-made comparable series here when collecting them from individual publications takes too long
