Abstract: The village undoubtedly plays a decisive role in the development of agriculture and the country as a whole. The existing rural policy of Russia requires adjustment and adoption of comprehensive state programs for the development of rural areas of the country. Particular attention should pay to northern rural territories that are “dying” without appropriate state support and an effective governance mechanism. To determine the effective levers of managing the rural territories of the Komi Republic, it is necessary to determine the socio-economic potential of each municipal district and urban district as a whole for the region. To achieve this goal, a rating assessment of the socio-economic potential carried out. Two periods of 2010 and 2018 assessed to identify the positive or negative dynamics of the development of the area. The analysis carried out using the selected 45 indicators, which conditionally divided into blocks: population, employment and income, production and investment, improvement and housing and public utilities, medicine, education, social infrastructure, law and financial resources. As a result, a composite rating of nine blocks was calculated. The municipalities of the region divided into groups depending on the rural population living in them. The results obtained make it possible to formulate proposals for improving the management of rural territories of the northern region based on their socio-economic potential.
