Abstract: The article emphasizes that the huge potential of rural areas, despite the development of positive processes in agriculture and the improvement of rural access to development resources, still remains unrealized. In the development of rural areas in the Russian Federation, there is no integrated approach. Ideas and opinions of researchers - some sustainable development of rural areas are associated directly with the development of agriculture in this territory; others note the limited development of rural areas by agrarian specifics and focus on the social problems of the village. In the proposed methodological approach to assessing the sustainability of rural development, the main indicators of assessment are: stabilization of the rural population; the growth of incomes of the rural population, the presence of other incomes (deposits, investments, income from entrepreneurial activity); growth of own housing among the rural population, stable energy supply of rural housing; uninterrupted operation of the Internet and cellular communications; availability of municipal transport routes; own car; provision of outlets; the ability to regularly relax and travel; development of agricultural production. Testing of the proposed methodological approach was carried out on the materials of the Irkutsk region. Depending on the problems solved, various research methods were used, such as economic-statistical, computational-constructive, abstract-logical and sociological. The source of information was data from departmental and sectoral statistics (Irkutskstat) and data obtained during the survey of rural residents.
